Description

Francapseudes Băcescu, 1981

Diagnosis. With characteristics of the subfamily (see Larsen 2005). Antennule inner flagellum bi-segmented. Antenna squama present, reduced. Mandibular palp uniarticulate, flagelliform.

Remarks. The genus Francapseudes was described by Băcescu (1981) to include two species of the Apseudomorpha found in the Bay of Biscay with uniarticulate mandibular palp. Băcescu & Guţu (1991) discussed the taxonomic position of the genus, providing a new diagnosis and allocated it within the subfamily Pseudosphyrapinae Guţu, 1980. The latter nomen was emended to Pseudosphyrapodinae by Larsen (2005). The diagnosis of Francapseudes provided above accounts for these revisions. This is the first time the genus is reported since its original description.
