Description
Pumiliophotis gen. nov.
Type species. Pumiliophotis queenslandicus sp. nov.
Etymology. From the latin ‘ pumilio’ meaning dwarf, referring to its diminutive size.
Diagnosis. Antenna 1 without accessory flagellum; gnathopod 1 and 2 together not forming a sieving structure; gnathopod 1 simple in both sexes; male gnathopod 2 subchelate; female gnathopod 2 simple; coxa 1 the largest, produced forward; pereopod 7 not markedly longer than pereopod 6; uropods 1 and 2 rami lacking dense array of robust setae; uropod 1 lacking ventrodistal spine; uropod 3 uniramous.
Included species. Pumiliophotis queenslandicus (monotypy).
Remarks. Like Cheiriphotis Walker (1904) and Microphotis Ruffo (1952), but differing in the simple gnathopod 1 of the male and simple gnathopods 1 and 2 in the female. Differing from Cheiriphotis also in lacking an accessory flagellum and from Microphotis in lacking a distoventral spine on uropod 1. Differing from Photis and Microprotopus in the shorter coxae and in having coxa 1 the largest.
