Hyperoche Bovallius 1887

Description

Genus Hyperoche Bovallius, 1887

Remarks

This genus is in need of a thorough taxonomic revision. The most recent review is by Vinogradov et al. (1982) who recognised seven species. Weigmann­Haass (1991) also reviewed the taxonomy and geographical distribution of H. luetkenides Walker, 1906 and H. capucinus Barnard, 1930 in the Antarctic waters of the Atlantic.

The gelatinous plankton associates of Hyperoche are summarised by Laval (1980). Most are with ctenophores but H. medusarum (Kröyer, 1838) is mostly found with medusae. Additional biological information is provided by Bowman et al. (1963), Brusca (1970), Evans and Sheader (1972), Flores and Brusca (1975), Westerhagen (1976), Westerhagen and Rosenthal (1976), Harbison et al. (1977) and Cahoon et al. (1986).

Vinogradov et al. (1982) and Weigmann­Haass (1991) provide distributional data for the species.

Species (according to Vinogradov et al. (1982)): Hyperoche medusarum (Kröyer, 1838); H. martinezi (Müller, 1864); H. cryptodactylus Stebbing, 1888; H. picta Bovallius, 1889: H. luetkenides (Walker, 1906); H. mediterranea Senna, 1908; H. capucinus Barnard, 1930.
