Disentangling an Asian puzzle: Two new bathynellid (Crustacea, Syncarida, Parabathynellidae) genera from Vietnam Author Camacho, Ana Isabel text Journal of Natural History 2005 2005-09-15 39 31 2861 2886 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222930500218524 journal article 10.1080/00222930500218524 1464-5262 5219936 Sketinella n. g. ( Figures 8–13 ) Genus diagnosis Antennule (A.I) ( Figure 9A ) has eight segments, subterminal aesthetascs on the last segment. A.II has six segments. Md has a protuding pars molaris . Proximal endite of the Mx.I has four teeth and distal endite has seven teeth. Th 1–7 with more than two segments (three to five) on exopod; basipods of the thoracopods have only one seta; epipodites absent on Th 1 and 2. Th 8 male large, square; square endopod with two long plumose setae; the large exopod is on the distal face of the basipod, ending in a point with a small lateral tooth or tiny protuberance, curved and overhanging the basipod; distal end of inner lobe exceeding dentate lobe; outer lobe is not fused with basipod; rounded basipod with protuded distal end on the internal lateral edge; dentate lobe rounded and with strong teeth. The first pair of pleopods are a simple seta. Sympod of uropod has three distal spines which are longer than the rest; the endopod of the uropod has two strong distal spines and a kind of ‘‘claw’’ on the distal end; protuded anal operculum.
