Key to the Atlantic species of Eumunida

1. Carapace ( Fig. 1A, B View Figure 1 ) with 3 hepatic spines; 1 or no inframarginal spine ( Fig.6 View Figure 6 B-D).Antennal acicle ( Fig.1D View Figure 1 ) with distal end distinctly overreaching articulation between fourth and fifth antennal segments ( Fig. 7 View Figure 7 B-D). Pleon with anterolateral spine of second tergite strong ( Fig.3H View Figure 3 ) ...................................................................2

— Carapace with 4 hepatic spines and 2 inframarginal spines ( Fig. 6A View Figure 6 ).
