Genus
Gunenotophorus
Buchholz, 1869
Diagnosis
. Female body comprising cephalosome, metasome (representing first tofourth pedigerous somites) forming large, globular brood pouch, and urosome. Fifth pedigerous somite largely or completely incorporated into brood pouch. Free urosome 5-segmented in female consistingof genitalsomiteand 4 abdominal somites.Anal somitewithorwithoutprocesses.Caudalramiwithreduced setation. Female antennule indistinctly segmented, with up to 7 segments partially expressed. Antenna consisting of coxa, basis, and 2-segmented endopod; exopodal seta absent. Mandible with well developed coxal gnathobase and biramous palp armed with 1 seta on basis, 5 setae on exopod, and 1 and 4 or 5 setae on first and second endopodal segments, respectively. Maxillulewith 8 or 9 setae on arthrite, 1 on coxal endite, 2 on epipodite; basis and endopod fused to form baseoendopod bearing 4 setae; exopod unsegmented with 4 setae distally. Maxilla indistinctly 3-segmented, syncoxa enditic formula 3, 2, 3; basis with claw plus 2 setae; endopod reduced with 3 to 5 small setae. Maxilliped unsegmented and armed with total of 7 setae. Leg 1 biramous with 3-segmented rami; leg 2 biramous with elongate 3-segmented exopod and short 2- or 3-segmented endopod according to species; legs 3 and 4 biramous with elongate 3-segmented exopods and reduced 2-segmented endopods; endopods of legs 2–4 typically ornamented with rings of minute setules; armatureformula of female typically:
Leg 5 represented by small lobe tipped with 1 small seta, or absent.
Type
species
.
Guenentophorus globularis
Buchholz, 1869
, by original monotypy.
Remarks
.
Illg (1958)
,
Illg &
Dudley
(1965)
and
Gotto (1993)
all attributed this genus to
Buchholz (1869)
. The original use of the name by
Costa
(1840)
was a
nomen nudum
, as pointed out by numerous authors.
Illg &
Dudley
(1965)
examined the convoluted nomenclatural history of this genus and its
type
species, and we follow them in an attempt to maintain stability of usage.
