Cythereis rivulorum Rome 1943

Description

Cythereis rivulorum Rome, 1943,

described from a river in Belgium and later transferred to the monospecific genus Romeis Sywula, 1970, was shown to represent a marine species inadvertently introduced into a freshwater sample (Meisch 2000). Both the genus and species are therefore removed from the present world list of non-marine species.
