Kalliapseudes Stebbing, 1910 View in CoL

Diagnosis (after Guţu, 2006): Antenna with numerous plumose setae on the distal peduncular article. Cheliped and pereopod I with exopodite. Dactylus of pereopods II and III long and slender with one small proximosternal digitiform lobe, ending in a few sensory setae. Pereopods IV and V with some sensory setae on dactylus; unguis absent. Pereopod VI with normal dactylus hooked or clawshaped.

Remarks. In a recent treatment of genus Kalliapseudes, Guţu (2006) elevated its two existing subgenera, Mesokalliapseudes and Monokalliapseudes , to full generic rank, and erected the monotypic genus Alokalliapseudes to receive Mesokalliapseudes macsweenyi ( Drumm, 2003) as its type species. These four genera plus Cristapseudes Băcescu, 1980 presently comprise the subfamily Kalliapseudinae (see Guţu 2006).
