Barnard, J. Laurens, and Charline M. Barnard. Revision of Foxiphalus and Eobrolgus (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Phoxocephalidae) from American Oceans. Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 372, 35 pages, 5 figures, 1982.— Three species formerly in Paraphoxus {major, similis, and cognatus) are transferred into Foxiphalus for the first time and redescribed in expanded format. From materials of previously described species {Paraphoxus obtusidens, type-species of Foxiphalus; P. major; P. similis; P. cognatus; and Eobrolgus spinosus), the following new species are described: Foxiphalus xiximeus, F. aleuti, F. secasius, F. apache, and F. golfensis. This completes the revision of old collections, and a new key to certain American genera of Phoxocephalidae is presented as well as a key to the species of Foxiphalus and Eobrolgus. OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year.
