Description
Summary:A female is redescribed below using the original "Pola" Expedition material, and a male is described for the first time using specimens from Lizard Island. The genetic name Sphaerophthalmus was originally proposed by Angelin (1854) for a genus of olenidid trilobite. Spandl's (1923) name is a junior homonym and the new name Dexaminoculus is proposed to replace it. The new combination Dexaminoculus acutipes (Ledoyer, 1979) replaces S. acutipes .
