Genus:
Hamatipeda
n. gen.
Diagnosis
(female): Pereonite-1 long (subequal or longer than carapace), pereonites 1–5 longer than wide (pereonites 2 and 3 over 1.5 times as long as wide). Mandible molar process with irregular edge but without tubercles and teeth. Maxillipedal endites lack distal tubercles. Chelae smaller than carpus, tapering distally. Pereopods 4–6 merus and carpus with two large specialized hooks, propodus with two long spiniform setae in the distal part of ventral margin, unguis tip trifurcate.
Etymology:
Named after the large spiniform-setae on pereopods 4–6:
hamatus
[lat.] = bearing hooks;
pedes
[lat.] = legs.
Type

Hamatipeda trapezoida

Remarks:
Hamatipeda
n. gen.
lacks prickly tubercles in pereopods 4–6 but, because it also lacks a cheliped ‘side piece’ and the climbing character of pereopods 4–6 is evident, it is included into the family
Typhlotanaidae
as was
Obesutanais
.
