Cylindroleberis Brady 1868

Description

Cylindroleberis Brady, 1868

Asterope Philippi, 1840: 186

Cylindroleberis Brady, 1868: 127 [replacement name, Asterope preoccupied] Asteropina Strand, 1928 [unnecessary replacement name, Asterope preoccupied]

Type species: Cypridina mariae Baird, 1850 by subsequent designation (Sylvester­Bradley, 1961).

Remarks: The genus was rediagnosed in detail by Skogsberg (1920: 445) (as Asterope) and Poulsen (1965: 434) (as Asteropina). Including the new species described here, there are 13 species. The type specimen for C. mariae is lost; a neotype description and diagnosis is in preparation. The genus is diagnosed by the unique combination of characters: carapace elongate (height <50 percent of length), first antenna s­seta with proximal + distal filament configuration as 1+6, first antenna d­seta absent, mandible exopod less than 25 percent of length of first endopod article, mandible e­seta absent. Specific differences are based on the number of dorsal setae on the mandible basale, the number of setae at the proximal endite of the maxilla, the number of anteroventral setae on the sixth limb, and the number of furcal claws and setae.
