Adelophthalmus lohesti

Eurypterida - Adelophthalmidae

Discussion

Dewalque (1889) is part of Fraipont (1889). Species is named Eurypterus lohesti. According to Tetlie and Van Roy (2006), "The single specimen of E. lohesti was first interpreted as possibly belonging to Adelophthalmus by KJELLESVIG-WAERING (1958, p. 1141). However, ST0RMER & WATERSTON(1968, p. 83) interpreted it as a possible stylonurid, a view supported here."
