Prionocandona kantii
Gupta, 1989
This unusual species, the sole member of its genus, was inadvertently omitted from
Meisch
et al.
(2019a)
. It was described from groundwaters of
Bihar
,
India
, and originally placed in the subfamily
Herpetocyprellinae
of the family
Cyprididae
, although the genus was given the ending ‘
candona
’. The antenna was reported to lack swimming setae (
Gupta 1989
), although the figures appear to show the presence of one very reduced seta. The seventh limb, with a well-developed terminal pincer arrangement, clearly indicates that it does belong to the
Cyprididae
, while the caudal ramus attachment has a Triebel’s loop, which indicates that it belongs to the subfamily
Cypricercinae
. The Triebel’s loop is clearly part of the dorsal branch of the attachment, and so we here transfer it to the tribe
Bradleystrandesiini
of the
Cypricercinae
.
