Taxonomic remark The family Mimonectidae was established by Bovallius (1885) to encompass three new species in his new genus Mimonectes; M. loveni, M. sphaericus and M. steenstrupi (= Archaeoscina steenstrupi). Subsequently, Stebbing (1904) added Parascina and Woltereck (1904a) added Sphaeromimonectes. Later, Woltereck (1906) concluded that Parascina represented a juvenile or male form of his genus, and this is the currently accepted view, and has been confirmed by the examination of the genotype, P. fowleri Stebbing, 1904. The differences between Mimonectes and Sphaeromimonectes, as defined by Woltereck (1904a, 1927), are based primarily on errors in the description of A. steenstrupi by Bovallius (1885), a species which has since been placed in its own family, Archaeoscinidae. Thus, Stephensen and Pirlot (1931), in a revision of the genera of the family, synonymised the latter with the former and included Parascina in the synonymy. [details]
