Taxonomic remark Conlan (1990) mis-interpreted Stebbing (1899a) in thinking that there were still specimens of Leach’s type series for P. variegatus that contained Jassa. However, this appears to be not the case, since P. variegatus and P. pelagica had their types validated by Conlan (1990) along with the type species for the genera Podocerus and Jassa. Therefore, the name J. variegatus is invalid (it is actually P. variegatus). [details]
