Subfamily
Deeveyinae
Kornicker & Iliffe 1985
Type
Genus.
Deeveya
Kornicker & Iliffe 1985: 476
.
Diagnosis.
Carapace without rostrum. First antenna with 8 articles, article 1 without bristles, article 2 with 1 dorsal bristle. Endopod of adult male 2nd antenna without clasper. Sixth limb with lobe-like exopod bearing 4 bristles. Bellonci Organ bifid. Copulatory limb of male with 2 processes.
Composition.
At present this subfamily includes only the genus
Deeveya
Kornicker & Iliffe 1985
. The great differences in the morphology of the carapaces of species of
Spelaeoecia
and
Deeveya
are deemed sufficient evidence to require that each genus be referred to a different subfamily
