).

Remarks
. The genus
Francapseudes
was described by
Băcescu (1981)
to include two species of the Apseudomorpha found in the Bay of Biscay with uniarticulate mandibular palp.
Băcescu & Guţu (1991)
discussed the taxonomic position of the genus, providing a new diagnosis and allocated it within the subfamily
Pseudosphyrapinae
Guţu, 1980
. The latter nomen was emended to
Pseudosphyrapodinae
by
Larsen (2005)
. The diagnosis of
Francapseudes
provided above accounts for these revisions. This is the first time the genus is reported since its original description.
