Third (second endopodal) podomere two-thirds as long as first podomere, with one short antero-distal seta. Fourth (third endopodal) podomere four-fifths as long as first podomere, with one stout postero-distal claw with curved tip and a row of setulae on posterior margin.

Coxal endite consisting of eight teeth. Palp consisting of four podomeres. First podomere (basis) with one finger-like shaped sheet (exopodite) near proximal end, one short seta on dorsal margin, two short setae on ventral margin, and four long setulous setae on ventral side of distal margin. Second podomere with one setulous ventro-distal seta, one simple and setulous dorso-distal setae. Third podomere with one stout lateral distal claw.

Description of adult female

(based on paratype SMF 57054). Carapace (Fig. 4E, F, H View Figure 4 ) trapezoidal in lateral view, with inflated medial portion of the shell. LV, L 0.43 mm, H 0.17 mm. Dorsal and ventral margins almost flat. Both valves bearing one protrusion on posterior end. Muri of surface reticulation thicker than that of male. Mxl (Fig. 5E View Figure 5 ) branchial plate (exopodite) with 13 plumose setae. Basal podomere with one palp (endopodite) and three endites. Palp consisting of one podomere, with three simple distal setae. Endites: dorsal one with four simple distal setae; middle one with four simple distal setae; ventral one with three simple distal setae and one setulous distal seta. L5 (Fig. 6D View Figure 6 ) small difference against male’s L5: one plumose antero-distal seta shorter rather than that of male. Copulatory organ and posterior body (Fig. 6G View Figure 6 ) female genital opening paired. Sclerotized framework of genital opening roughly circular. Spermathecal duct long connecting with genital opening. Genital lobe paired with each two setulous furcal setae.

Etymology.

Named after reticulated surface ornamentation of the carapace.

Distribution.

Only recorded from the type locality.

Remarks.

Keysercythere reticulata can be easily distinguished from the only other species of the genus, Keysercythere enricoi , by the carapace surface ornamentation: the former has a strongly reticulated, while the latter has smooth surface. Ventral margin of valves is concave in the new species versus convex in K. enricoi . The morphology of Hp is also different: the hook-like process is rectangular and the distal lobe is broad sub-triangular in the new species, while the hook-like process is semi-circular and the distal lobe is acute sub-triangular with sharply bended tip in K. enricoi .
