Clepidecrella J.L. Barnard View in CoL

Clepidecrella J.L. Barnard, 1962: 24 View in CoL . —J.L. Barnard, 1969: 338. — Barnard & Karaman, 1991: 476. — Lowry & Stoddart, 1994: 144.

Diagnosis. Mandible with vestigial incisor.

Remarks. As noted by Lowry & Stoddart (1994: 144) there is very little difference between Clepidecrella and Kerguelenia . However the two genera can be consistently distinguished by the presence of a vestigial incisor in Clepidecrella and the complete absence of an incisor in Kerguelenia . Apart from one species ( C. tropicalis ) Clepidecrella species have a short ischium on gnathopod 1 (length less than 2 x breadth) whereas all Kerguelenia species have a long or very long ischium (length up to 4.8 x breadth).

Clepidecrella now contains 6 species: Clepidecrella cabinda J.L. Barnard, 1962 ; C. abeona sp. nov.; C. cataraqui sp. nov.; C. colliboi sp. nov.; C. ira sp. nov.; C. tropicalis Lowry & Stoddart, 1994
