DIAGNOSIS: Carapace outer ocular spines absent. Antennule dorsal flagellum with 17– 145 articles, ventral flagellum with 1–7 articles. Antenna acicle present, long; flagellum with 1–8 articles. Maxilliped II with flagellum. Maxilliped III crista dentata absent or weak; exopod slender or lamellar, without flagellum.

REMARKS: As with the members of the
Lepidopinae
, the genera that comprise the
Albuneinae
have always been considered to form a natural grouping within the
Albuneidae
(Efford and Haig, 1968;
Efford, 1969
), but this group was not formally named until now.
