Type species . Ctenocheloides nomurai Komai, 2013 , by original designation and monotypy. Diagnosis . Rostrum obsolete or obtusely triangular, flat, not reaching cornea. Male major cheliped merus with oblique spine near midpoint of lower margin; propodus broad, with short fingers . Minor cheliped merus lower margin with spine at or near midpoint; propodus cylindrical, slightly swollen at midpoint, about twice as wide as long, with long narrow fingers . Male pleopod 1 article 2 simple, tapering, without coupling hooks. Telson parallel-sided over anterior half, then tapering to evenly rounded apex. Remarks . The swollen propodus and thin pectinate fingers, typical of Ctenocheles and Ctenocheloides (fig. 17a, b), are not found in Kiictenocheloides where the major cheliped has a propodus and fingers (fig. 17c) typical of callianassoids generally. The female pleopods are unknown.
