Dear Taxacomers,

I have a list of some 40 Harpacticoid copepod genus names which are variously ascribed to either Lang, 1944, Monographie der Harpacticiden (Vorläufige Mitteilung) and Lang, 1948, Monographie der Harpacticiden, Stockholm, Lund, depending on where one looks (e.g. ITIS, WoRMS, Nomenclator Zoologicus - which lists both -  etc.) The list looks like this:

Acrenhydrosoma
Alteuthellopsis
Alteuthopsis
Amonardia
Amphiacella
Amphiascella
Antiboreodiosaccus
Bulbamphiascus
Dactylopodamphiascopsis
Dactylopodia
Halectinosoma
Haloschizopera
Heterolaophonte
Idyellopsis
Laophonte
Metamphiascopsis
Microarthridion
Oligoarthra
Oligocletodes
Parabradya
Paradactylopodia
Paradiosaccus
Paralaophonte
Paraleptopsyllus
Paramphiascella
Paramphiascopsis
Paraphyllopodopsyllus
Pararenosetella
Parargestes
Pararobertsonia
Paronychocamptus
Proameira
Pseudamphiascopsis
Pseudocleta
Pseudodiosaccopsis
Pseudonychocamptus
Pseudosarsameira
Rhyncholagena
Robertgurneya
Typhlamphiascus

Is anyone familiar enough with these works or genera to be able to advise what is going on here - e.g. are all the Lang, 1944 citations nomina nuda, all the Lang, 1948 citations erroneous, or perhaps (and possibly most likely) some combination of both/neither?

Any advice appreciated,

Regards - Tony
