Bathymiranda Levenstein 1981

Description

BATHYMIRANDA LEVENSTEIN, 1981

Type species: Bathymiranda microcephala Levenstein, 1981.

The genus is monotypic. Although Levenstein (1981) considered the presence of a median antenna uncertain, Pettibone (1985d, 1989c) classified it in the subfamily Polaruschakovinae. We followed Pettibone and coded the species as lacking a median antenna.
