Diagnosis Original diagnosis by Webster (1879: 255): ''One antenna. Feet biramous. Dorsal rami with cirri; ventral rami with cirri on anterior segments only. Branchiaeon anterior segments only. Setae all simple, capillary. First segment with setae, no tentacular cirri.'' [details]
Synonymy In a surprising result, a molecular analysis of Langeneck et al (2019) placed Aricidea fragilis Webster, 1879, the type species of Aricidea, as a sister taxon of Paraonis fulgens (Levinsen, 1884), the type species of Paraonis (Note that the type species of Paraonis is 'unnatural' as the ICZN intervened to set it as Aonides fulgens). The taxa sampled included 22 Aricidea species and one Paraonis, altogether 66 individuals belonging to 38 nominal species. Langeneck et al. write that "Despite the striking morphological divergence, Paraonis is nested within Aricidea, of which it can be considered a derived group," and "Since Paraonis Grube, 1873 has priority over Aricidea Webster, 1879, these two genera should be considered synonymous, and Aricidea species should be moved to Paraonis."
However, WoRMS will not yet accept this result as only one Paraonis species was included in the analysis, and there are clearly some likely misidentifications in the data (three different placements of Aricidea catherinae for example), and the specimens identified as Aricidea fragilis were from the Mediterranean, not the type locality area of Virginia, USA. Depositions and locations of specimen vouchers for checking identification are not mentioned in the GenBank records. The suggested taxonomic changes are presented in text flow, and there is no formal taxonomic section. Nevertheless, this is a most interesting analysis [G. Read, April 2019]. Recently the review of Grosse et al (2021) appears to have similarly agreed the generic relationships need further analysis. [details]Unreviewed
Habitat Known from seamounts and knolls [details]
description Median antenna present; modified setae either pseudocomposite or recurved with a subterminal arista arising from the concave side of the shaft. [details]
