Problems in taxonomy of the Polymorphidae are discussed, with particular reference to trunk spines. Andracantha gen. n. is proposed for species with genital spines and 2 fields of trunk spines. Corynosoma gravida Alegret 1941, C. mergi Lundstroöm 1941 and C. phalacrocoracis Yamaguti 1939 are redescribed and placed in Andracantha, with A. gravida (Alegret, 1941) comb. n. designated as type species.
讨论了多形科分类学中的问题,特别提及了躯干棘。提出了Andracantha属,用于包含生殖棘和两个躯干棘区域的物种。重新描述了1941年的Alegret的Corynosoma gravida、1941年Lundstroöm的C. mergi以及1939年Yamaguti的C. phalacrocoracis,并将它们归入Andracantha属,指定A. gravida (Alegret, 1941) 组合新名为模式种。
