Habitat: marine. guttatus, Psenes Fowler [H. W.] 1906:121 [Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia v. 58; ref. 1372] Appeared by mistake for chapmani (chapmani used in main heading and one other use). Treated by Haedrich 1967: 88 [ref. 5357] (see also Böhlke 1984:132 [ref. 13621]) as name only. Perhaps best regarded as two names for the same taxon (linked through color description [and bottle labels]), for which chapmani is selected over guttatus. Fowler 1924 used the name guttatus for another species of Psenes, and later (1939) replaced that guttatus with stigmapleuron. Nomeidae. Habitat: marine.
