Paradoxapseudes

Type
species.
Paradoxapseudes cubensis
Guţu, 1991
Remarks.
Guţu (1991a)
erected the monotypic genus
Paradoxapseudes
on the basis of one main morphological character—the absence of the inner flagellum of the antennule and assigned the genus to the
Tanapseudidae Băcescu, 1978
. The genus was later transferred to the family
Apseudidae
by
Guţu (2001)
, according to the pereopodal morphology and the presence of several common features of
Paradoxapseudes
and
Gollumudes
Bamber, 2000
.
Guţu (2008)
later emended the diagnosis of the genus and synonymised
Gollumudes
with
Paradoxapseudes
. To date, fifteen species are recognised for the genus, including the
type
species, ten new combinations, and four newly described species. The present study adds one new species to the genus.
