Taxonomy Pettibone (1993: 28) justified her placement of A. aequiseta as follows: "Antinoe aequiseta Kinberg, 1856, from Port Natal, South Africa. The holotype in the Swedish State Museum (NRS) now consists of a posterior end of 17 segments and is thus unsatisfactory. The original description and figures are deficient, particularly in regard to the elytra, which were evidently missing because they were not described or figured. It is considered to be an indeterminable Harmothoe sp. Based on material from "South-West" Africa, Augener (1918:137) referred the species to Harmothoe and included in its synonymy Parmenis capensis Willey (1904) from the Cape of Good Hope. Augener's specimens, deposited in the Hamburg Museum (ZMH 8730/8780), consist of fragments and appear to be a mixture of at least two species. Some of the specimens of H. aequiseta by Day (1953,1960,1967) from South Africa are described below under Harmothoe capensis (Willey), new combination, and H. discoveryae, new species [details]
