Amended diagnosisCanthocamptidae
. Body semi-cylindrical. Rostrum short. Caudal rami cylindrical; setae IV and V usually long and pinnate. Female antennule 8-segmented; male antennule 10-segmented, haplocer with geniculation between segments 7 and 8. Antenna with allobasis, eXopod 1- to 2-segmented, with 4 setae. Mandible with well-developed gnathobase; palp 1- to 2-segmented. Maxilla with two endites; endopod 1-segmented. P1 with 3-segmented rami; first endopodal segment long, reaching about midlength of third eXopodal segment. P2–P3 with 3-segmented rami; P4 eXopod 3-segmented, endopod 2-segmented. Female P5 endopod with 6 setae, typically seta V small (eXcept in
C. iaponicus
); eXopod short (l/w <2), with 5 setae, typically seta I small, equal to or shorter than outer setae (eXcept in
C. iaponicus
). Male P2 endopod seXually dimorphic, ʻCanthocamptus-likeʼ (
Fig. 9A
), second and third segments fused, third segment without outer seta, on border between ancestral second and third segments with posterio-lateral cuticular process. Male P3 endopod typical for
Canthocamptidae
, with long apophysis with tip; third segment with 0, 1 or 2 setae. Male P4 endopod usually with modified finger-like outer seta (simple spine in
C. latus
,
C. bulbifer
,
C. longifurcatus
and
C. verestschagini
.) Male P5 endopod with 2 setae, outer seta much smaller than inner one, inner seta/outer seta length from 1.5 to 10, typically 3; eXopod with 5 or 6 setae; inner seta, if present, long, pectinate (absent in
C. latus
,
C. bulbifer
,
C. longifurcatus
and
C. robertcokeri
).

Distribution
Species of this genus are widespread in the Holarctic, with special diversity in Asia, where 12 species occur along with the new species. Five of them are endemics of Lake Baikal. The findings of
C. staphilinus
in Borneo (
Spandl 1924
) are most likely due to a misidentification. Thus, the range of all
Canthocamptus
covers the entire Holarctic, not going beyond its limits.
Remarks
Despite the up-to-date lists of K.
Lang (1948)
and J.B.J. Wells (2008), still has about 77 valid names occur in the genus
Canthocamptus
in the WoRMS database (
Walter & Boxshall 2021
). Here we consider as
Canthocamptus
only those 22 species closely related to the
type
species, also establishing a new genus,
Kikuchicamptusgen. nov.
, for the species closely related to
Kikuchicamptus mirabilis
(Sterba, 1968)
comb. nov.
This leaves 43 species out of the new definition of
Canthocamptus
, which is based on clear synapomorphies. These species belong to different lineages, some related to other freshwater genera such as
Bryocamptus
,
Elaphoidella
Chappuis, 1929
,
Attheyella
, etc. Therefore, the WoRMS database must be updated to include in
Canthocamptus
only the species listed in this publication, and the species included in
Tables 4
and
5
must be treated as nomina nuda, junior synonyms or species inquirendae.
