Remarks: Given the synonymization of Lysiosquillina and Lysiosquilla , the two remaining genera of Lysiosquillidae are rediagnosed herein. Lysiosquilla now includes 16 species including the four species previous assigned to Lysiosquillina . Distinctions between Lysiosquilla and Lysiosquilloides are discussed in the Remarks of the latter. All species of Lysiosquilla exceed TL 100 mm in maximum size (usually> TL 150 mm), with L. maculata from the Indo-West Pacific, the largest known stomatopod, reaching TL 385 mm ( Roxas and Estampador 1930).
