Cephalothrix signata Hubrecht, 1879

Cephalothrix signata Hubrecht, 1879

Remarks. From Naples, Italy; body 15 mm in length, dorsally uniformly yellow, ventrally white; head with pair of club-shaped pigment patches dorsally, with white median streak between them, latter posteriorly connected to yellow transverse bar; two identical club-shaped yellow blotches present ventrally; eyes present ( Hubrecht 1879: 297). Wijnhoff (1913) transferred this species to Cephalotrichella . The generic name was incorrectly spelled Cephalotrix in the original description, but the specific name is deemed to have been published in combination with the correct original spelling, Cephalothrix , according to Article 11.9.3.2 of the Code (ICZN 1999); the specific name has been mandatorily changed from signatus to signata after Articles 31.2 and 34.2 of the Code (ICZN 1999).
