Pakistanapseudes Bacescu 1978

Description

Genus Pakistanapseudes Băcescu, 1978

Remarks. in describing his new genus, Băcescu (1978) did not designate a type-species. By inference, and as stated by Bamber & Sheader (2003), it should be Pakistanapseudes leptochelatus Băcescu 1978, herein so designated (not Pakistanapseudes leptodactylus Băcescu 1978 as cited by Guţu, 2008, a lapsus calami). It should be noted that members of this genus have a great propensity for autotomizing their appendages on fixation unless relaxed first, so in many species not all of the pereopods, chelipeds, antennules or uropods are known. In both of the new species described below, chelipeds and first pereonites were so rare that no complete exopodite was found.
