Type species.
Eucallisoma glandulosa
J.L. Barnard, 1961, original designation.
Included species.
Eucallisoma
includes one species:
Eucallisoma glandulosa
J.L. Barnard, 1961.
Diagnosis.
Mandible lacinia mobilis a stemmed, distally expanded, irregularly cusped blade
.
Maxilla 1
inner plate with pappose setae along inner margin;
palp 2-articulate
. Maxilla 2 inner and outer plates subequal in length; inner plate broader than outer plate.
Maxilliped palp article 4 well developed
.
Gnathopod 1
coxa large, margins subparallel;
basis swollen, with glandular material
; dactylus reduced, simple. Pereopod 3 carpus compressed to short, about as long as wide.
Pereopod 4 with well-developed, subquadrate posteroventral lobe
.
Discussion.
The removal of
Eucallisoma barnardi
Lowry & Stoddart, 1993 to
Tayabasa
gen. n. leaves
Eucallisoma
as a monotypic taxon. Future deep-sea samples will hopefully uncover associated taxa that will provide a clearer picture of the relationships between these animals.
