Type species

Paramblyops rostrata Holt & Tattersall, 1905 View in CoL , by original designation according to ICZN (1999).

Diagnosis

Based on adults of both sexes. Eye rudiments without stalk, separate, not connected by membranous integument, positioned laterally, each reduced to roughly triangular or rectangular pads with only disto-lateral edge produced into a tooth-like non-sensory projection, no visual elements, no ocular papilla. Antennular trunk with three segments separated by transverse articulations; basal segment without ventral carina. Antennal scale not subdivided, bare portion of lateral margin distally ending in a single, strong tooth; mesial margin setose all along. Antennal peduncle with three segments lined in a single plane. Thoracomeres and pleomeres normal. Thoracic endopod 2 not prehensile. Endopods 3–8, as far as known, with oblique articulation between carpus and propodus. Female pleopods representing setose rods with residual differentiation of pseudobranchial lobe. Male pleopods biramous, with well-developed sympod and multi-segmented exopod. Endopod 1 short, unsegmented; endopods 2–5 long, multi-segmented; all endopods with small, setose pseudobranchial lobe; endopod 4 with modified setae in certain species. Uropods setose all around, without any or with a single spine below statocyst. Telson trapeziform, distally converging, no lateral constriction, terminally truncate without any or with small median indentation. Lateral margins all along or only distally with densely set spines. Terminal margin mesially with small spines plus 0–3 setae, in any case altogether flanked by large spines.
