Title

Molecular phylogeny confirms that Pseudolepeophtheirus schmidti Gusev, 1951 belongs in Lepeophtheirus (Crustacea, Copepoda, Caligidae)

Abstract

Pseudolepeophtheirus schmidti was recently transferred to Lepeophtheirus, as Pseudolepeophtheirus was synonymized with Lepeophtheirus, but its phylogenetic position had not been tested molecularly. This study determined the 18S rRNA (18S) of “Pseudolepeophtheirus” schmidti, constructed an 18S-based phylogenetic tree of caligids, and revealed that “P.” schmidti nests within the Lepeophtheirus clade, confirming it belongs in Lepeophtheirus. This is the first record of this species from Japanese waters and the first from outside the Sea of Japan.
