Genus Collettea Lang, 1973

Diagnosis. Female (modified after Larsen 2000): Antennule 4­ or 5­articulated (the terminal 5th article rudimental). Antennae 6­articulated, occasionally with fusion line at 4th article. Body almost completely cylindrical. Cephalothorax longer than broad. Eye lobes present but without visual elements. Pleonites without lateral edges of dorsal shield. Pleon longer than half of pereon. Pleotelson mostly longer than last three pleonites combined, terminating in dorsal plate covering uropods. Mandibles with broad molar, usually with a row of spines. Labium consists of two simple lobes (M­shape). Pereopods slender, all with coxa, dactylus and unguis not fused to hook. Pleopods absent in females. Uropods with two rami; endopod with one or two articles; exopod uni­articulated.

Male: similar to female. Functional mouthparts retained in adults. Antennule thicker than in female. Small pleopods present, most often with simple setae.

Type species. Strongylura cylindrata G. O. Sars, 1882.
