, the P5 of these families is remarkably reduced or represented by a single plate in both sexes. Although this sexual dimorphism is observed in other nannopodid genera, the structure of this leg in our new taxon is very similar in both sexes, except for micro-ornamentation, such as cuticular spinules and pores (Fig.

gen. nov. expresses rare sexual dimorphisms in the shape of the caudal rami (oval in the female, but rectangular in the male), the length of caudal seta V (slightly longer than the caudal ramus in the female, but slightly shorter than the urosome in the male), the number of pores on the surface (one pore in the female vs. two pores in the male) and the lateral ornamentation (the presence of a row of long setules proximally in the female vs. absent in the male). These sexual dimorphisms could support the erection of a new genus
