Description
Genus Kalloleptochelia Guţu, 2016
Type species. Kalloleptochelia robusta Guţu, 2016
Remarks. Guţu (2016) established the genus Kalloleptochelia, which comprises four species: K. maiorina Guţu, 2016 (Réunion Island, western Indian Ocean), K. pauxilla Guţu, 2016 (Langkawi Island, Malaysia), K. robusta (Bunaken Island, Indonesia), and K. tenuicula (Makkaveeva, 1968) (Cuba). In these publications, only the male characteristics were described, although the first morphological description of the female Kalloleptochelia species was probably mentioned in the redescription of Leptochelia tenuicula (K. tenuicula) from Martinique Island by Guţu (2011). However, doubts were later raised regarding that particular species (Guţu 2016: 132).
According to Guţu (2016: 132), the males of Kalloleptochelia species share similarities with those of Alloleptochelia, but they can be distinguished by certain distinct features: 1) the antennule peduncle article-1 is no longer than the carapace (longer than the carapace in Alloleptochelia species); 2) the cheliped is shorter than the body (at least as long as the body in Alloleptochelia species); 3) both the fixed finger and the dactylus of the cheliped have numerous denticles along the incisive margin (only a proximal apophysis, a few proximal denticles or smooth on fixed finger in Alloleptochelia species).
