Diagnostic description.
Antenna 1 flagellum article 1 lacking robust seta on distal margin; accessory flagellum forming cap. Antenna 2 flagellum articles 3–5 slender in female, article 3 enlarged in male; articles 3–5 with brush setae on the anterior margin. Mandibular incisor curved; molar a reduced column with convex triturating surface or proximally setose and distally triturating; palp attached midway. Maxilla 1 ST-7 serrate along the distomedial medial margin; ST-D slender, apically cuspidate. Maxilliped outer plate apical robust setae present. Gnathopod 1 subchelate; coxa slightly to greatly shorter than coxa 2, tapering distally; carpus slightly longer than propodus; propodus palm acute, straight. Pereopod 4 coxa with well developed posteroventral lobe. Uropod 2 inner ramus constricted. Uropod 3 rami plumose setae absent in female, present occasionally in adult male.
Telson
moderately cleft.
Remarks.
The genus
Thrombasia
was established by
Barnard (1966)
for
T. tracalero
, and was subsequently placed in the synonymy of
Schisturella
by
Barnard & Karaman (1991)
. However, we consider
Thrombasia
to be distinct from
Schisturella
based on the gnathopod 1 coxa, which is tapering and slightly reduced, not vestigial as in
Schisturella
.
There are four other genera in the
Tryphosa
group with a gnathopod 1 coxa that is not vestigial. Of these,
Thrombasia
may be separated from
Gronella
by the gnathopod 1 carpus, which is longer than the propodus, from
Tryphosa
and
Bruunosa
in the tapering gnathopod 1 coxa, and from
Glorieusella
in the subchelate gnathopod 1.
