Key to subfamilies of
Chasmocarcinidae
1. Antennule with peduncle not particularly enlarged although incapable of being folded into fossa (e.g.,
Fig. 21
A); dorsal anten-
nular flagellum with elongated aesthetascs (e.g.,
Fig. 21
A). Carapace subtrapezoidal or subtriangular (e.g.,
Fig. 2
); buccal cavern quadrate or rectangular (e.g.,
Figs. 21
B, 27A)........................................................... 2
- Antennule with greatly enlarged, swollen peduncle (e.g.,
Fig. 27
B); dorsal antennular flagellum with large, wide aesthetascs (e.g.,
Fig. 19
A‒C, G). Carapace quadrate or rectangular (e.g.,
Figs. 19
B, 20E); buccal cavern conspicuously arched, sunken (e.g.,
Figs. 27
C, 103D).....................................................................
Megaesthesiinae
2. Rounded or quadrate antennular peduncle (
Fig. 22
A); basal antennular article swollen so that antennular flagellum cannot fold into fossa (
Fig. 22
A). Vulva typically not conspicuously large, with thin margins (e.g.,
Figs. 89
B). Indirect development; marine................................................................................
Chasmocarcininae
- Rectangular antennular peduncle (
Fig. 94
E, J); basal antennular article not swollen so that antennular flagellum can partially fold into fossa (
Fig. 94
E, J). Vulva conspicuously large, with thick margins (e.g.,
Fig. 99
D, F, H). Direct development (see
Davie & Guinot 1996
: fig. 2). Freshwater, including inland caves....................................
