Makrokylindrus
Stebbing, 1912
Type
species
.
Makrokylindrus fragilis
Stebbing, 1912
.
Diagnosis
. Telson longer than uropod peduncles, without lateral setation, without distinct post-anal portion.
Remarks
. This species is included in a short key with the new species of
Diastylis
. As noted by
Day (1980)
, the genera
Diastylis
and
Makrokylindrus
may be difficult to impossible to differentiate, as the generic diagnoses rely on telson pre and post-anal proportions and setation.
