Description
Tanaella Norman & Stebbing, 1886
Diagnosis (see Larsen 2005).
Remarks. This genus currently comprises 17 species including the one described here. It is recognized by a large antennule article-2, pincer-like uniramous uropods that have much-reduced, vestigial, or absent, fused exopods and, like Collettea, females almost invariably lack pleopods (exceptions being Tanaella dongo Bamber, 2005, T. forcifera (Lang, 1968) and T. kommritzia Larsen & Shimomura, 2007). However, the last character is open to some confusion when assigning a sex to a particular specimen of Tanaella. Males (or at least sub-adult or “preparatory” males) can be distinguished with care by their slightly enlarged antennules compared to those of females. Ideally the presence of pleopods in females of this genus should be confirmed by their association with at least oostegite buds if not a complete marsupium.
Tanaella was revised fairly recently (Larsen & Heard 2004), and since then new species have been discovered in the Antarctic (Guerrero-Kommritz & Błażewicz-Paszkowycz 2004), Western Australia (Bamber 2005), Japan (Larsen & Shimomura 2007), and Brazil (Larsen et al. 2009). It is cosmopolitan and primarily a deep-water taxon, found in relatively shallow water (38 m) down to abyssal depths (5450 m).
