Description
Summary:The binomen Argulus purpureus (Risso, 1827) is a junior synonym of Argulus vittatus (Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1814), and the generic name Diprosia is a junior synonym of Argulus Müller, respectively, as first pointed out by Lipke B. Holthuis in 1954. Continued usage of Argulus purpureus indicates that Argulus vittatus has been ignored. In addition, Argulus purpureus should be followed by "(Risso, 1827)" rather than "Risso, 1816" or "Risso, 1827" because the species was originally described under the generic names, Binoculus Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 1762 (that was later suppressed) and Agenor Risso, 1827. /// Le binôme Argulus purpureus (Risso, 1827) est un synonyme plus récent d'Argulus vittatus (Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1814), et le nom générique Diprosia est un synonyme plus récent d'Argulus Müller, respectivement, comme indiqué pour la première fois par Lipke B. Holthuis en 1954. L'usage continu d'Argulus purpureus indique qu'Argulus vittatus a été ignoré jusqu'à présent. De plus, Argulus purpureus devrait être suivi de "(Risso, 1827)" plutôt que "Risso, 1816" ou "Risso, 1827" puisque l'espèce a été décrite à l'origine sous les noms génériques Binoculus Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 1762 (supprimé plus tard) et Agenor Risso, 1827.
