Subfamily EUCALLIACINAE
Manning & Felder, 1991
REMARKS
Ngoc-Ho (2003: 487) considers the presence of an exopod on the maxilliped 3 an important taxonomic character, and proposes, in the subfamily Eucalliacinae , to separate species having or lacking an exopod on the maxilliped 3. The genera Calliax de Saint Laurent, 1973 and Eucalliax Manning & Felder, 1991 include species having no exopod on the maxilliped 3, e.g., Calliax lobata de Gaillande & Lagardère, 1966 , type species or Calliax tulearensis n. sp. Species provided with an exopod on the maxilliped 3 are placed either in the genus Paraglypturus Türkay & Sakai, 1995 , e.g., Paraglypturus calderus Türkay & Sakai, 1995 , type species or Calliaxina Ngoc-Ho, 2003, e.g., Calliaxina punica de Saint Laurent & Manning, 1982 , type species and Calliaxina thomassini n. sp. Both new species Calliax tulearensis n. sp. and Calliaxina thomassini n. sp. are treated in this work.
