Editors' Notes
There was no illustration of this species in Haeckel (1887)
Haeckel listed Anthocyrtis anthemis under the subgeneric name Anthocyrtarium, but did not include the subgeneric name in the species name.[comment from RadWorld database]
The original concept of Anthocyrtium Ehrenberg included both theoperid and pterocorythid cephalic forms. Anthocyrtidium is in modern usage a pterocorythid genus, and, as the type species mespilus of Anthocyrtis has theoperid cephalis anthemis is in the database placed in Anthocyrtis- dbl
