Remarks.
The differentiation of a subspecies
Iphinoe crassipes haifae
Bacescu, 1961
was not followed by later authors, for instance Day (1978),
Corbera (1994)
and
Mühlenhardt-Siegel (1996)
because the differences exhibited between individuals from different areas are not consistent enough (Day, 1978). The species is close related to
Iphinoe pokoui
LeLoeuff &
Intes, 1972
, it may by easily distinguished by a very wide antennal notch with a narrow serrate elongate anterolateral angle and the lengths of rami of the uropods.
