Kalliapseudes
Stebbing, 1910
Diagnosis
(after
Guţu, 2006
): Antenna with numerous plumose setae on the distal peduncular article. Cheliped and pereopod I with exopodite. Dactylus of pereopods II and III long and slender with one small proximosternal digitiform lobe, ending in a few sensory setae. Pereopods IV and V with some sensory setae on dactylus; unguis absent. Pereopod VI with normal dactylus hooked or clawshaped.
Remarks.
In a recent treatment of genus
Kalliapseudes,
Guţu (2006)
elevated its two existing subgenera,
Mesokalliapseudes
and
Monokalliapseudes
,
to full generic rank, and erected the monotypic genus
Alokalliapseudes
to receive
Mesokalliapseudes macsweenyi
(
Drumm, 2003
)
as its
type
species. These four genera plus
Cristapseudes
Băcescu, 1980
presently comprise the subfamily
Kalliapseudinae
(see
Guţu 2006
).
