Taxonomic Remarks 



The International Commission on Zoological 

 Nomenclature has used its plenary powers (Opin- 

 ion 817, 1967) to validate the selection of Burken- 

 road's neotype of Cancer setiferus Limiaeus, and, 

 thus, the wliite shrimp fi-om the Atlantic Coast of 

 the United States and the Gulf of Mexico is 

 Peivaeiio ■etiferus (L.). Consequently, the white 

 shrimp from the Caiibbean Sea and the Atlantic 

 Coast of South America are referable to P. sch?nitii 

 Burkenroad. Both names — Cancer setifenis Lin- 

 naeus and Penaeus schmitti Burkenroad — have 

 been placed on the Official List of Specific Names. 

 Holthuis (1962) selected as lectotype of /lsto«M.s 

 fluviatilis, Americanus Seba, 1759, the figure No. 

 2 of plate 17, given by Seba to illustrate his 

 description. 



Gunter's (1962a) suggestion that Penaeus 

 orhigiiyanus Lat. should be considered a nomen 

 dubium seems logical. Latreille (1817) stated that 

 the type specimen was sent to him by "Dr. 

 d'Orbigny" from the Department de la Vendee in 

 western France. Burkenroad (1939) failed in his 

 attempt to locate the type, which, according to H. 

 Milne Edwards (1837), could not be differentiated 

 from P. setiferus. The specimen could have been 

 a stray from the western Atlantic actually col- 

 lected in that improbable locality, or it could have 

 l>een collected in America and given to Dr. 

 d'Orbigny. In either case, it does not seem probable 

 that it will ever be determined if the name cor- 

 responds to P. setiferus or P. schmitti.
