Revised diagnosis.
Anterior margin of carapace convex, smoothly rounded. Antennal scale with clearly produced distal part (
Fig. 8
B, H). Median segment of mandibular palp with normal, smooth or at most slightly barbed setae (
Fig. 9
A). Thoracic endopods 3–8 with 3-segmented propodus (
Figs 9
G, H, 10A, D, F, H). Penis with row of short, barbed setae in subterminal position on caudolateral blade (
Fig. 9
H). Telson roughly as long as last abdominal segment, with strong, subrectangular cleft (
Fig. 10
U). Cleft laminae without lateral wing-like expansions (

Type species.
Mesomysis Kröyeri
Czerniavsky, 1882b
: 46
, as defined in
Daneliya (2004)
.
Remarks.
The characters of
P. adriatica
sp. nov.
take an intermediate position between the subgenera
Longidentia
and
Occiparamysis
, thus diminishing their diagnostic significance. In particular, being rather similar to
P. agigensis
Băcescu, 1940
(see details below),
P. adriatica
still lacks the most important distinguishing character of
Occiparamysis
—long and strong setae on penis outer lobe—rather having short, thin setae like in the species of
Longidentia
. Thus, upon synonymising
Occiparamysis
with
Longidentia
, we also propose the new, revised combination
Paramysis
(
Longidentia
)
agigensis
Băcescu, 1940
. The redefined subgenus
Longidentia
is most similar to the subgenus
Pseudoparamysis
Băcescu, 1940
, from which it differs by the 3-segmented propodus of thoracic endopods 3–8 (reduced, 1- or 2-segmented propodus of endopods
7–8 in
species of
Pseudoparamysis
).
