Kotumsaridae Messouli, Holsinger & Reddy, 2007 View in CoL
Type genus. Kotumsaria Messouli, Holsinger & Reddy, 2007 .
Diagnostic description. Body subcylindrical. Eyes absent. Antennae 1–2 calceoli absent. Antenna 1 slightly longer than antenna 2; peduncular article 1 longer than article 2; article 2 longer than article 3; article 3 shorter than article 1; peduncular articles 1–2 not geniculate; accessory flagellum absent. Antenna 2 peduncular article 1 enlarged, bulbous. Mandible molar triturative; palp symmetrical. Maxilla 1 basal endite apically setose; palps symmetrical. Maxilla 2 basal endite without oblique setal row. Labium inner lobes vestigial or absent. Coxal gills on pereopods 2–6, stalked (with proximal restriction or complete suture); sternal gills present, simple; sternal blisters absent. Gnathopod 1 subchelate; similar in males and females (not sexually dimorphic); larger (or stouter) than gnathopod 2; propodus palm with single row of simple robust setae along palmar margin. Gnathopod 2 subchelate; similar in males and females (not sexually dimorphic); carpus not produced along posterior margin of propodus, projecting between merus and propodus. Pereopods 3–4 not sexually dimorphic. Pereopod 4 without posteroventral lobe. Pereopod 5 shorter than pereopod 6; coxa without lobes. Pereopod 7 longer than pereopod 5. Pleonites 1–3 without dorsal carinae. Urosomites 1–3 free; with slender or robust dorsal setae. Urosomite 1 with large distoventral robust seta. Urosomite 2 with pair of dorsal concavities each with 1–3 small setae. Uropod 1 without basofacial robust setae. Uropod 3 not sexually dimorphic; biramous, without plumose setae; endopod minute. Telson entire ; dorsal or lateral robust setae absent; apical robust setae present.
Habitat. Freshwater, hypogean.
Included genera. Kotumsaria Messouli, Holsinger & Reddy, 2007 .
Remarks. Messouli et al. (2007) alluded to the possibility that kotumsarids might be crangonyctidirans and our phylogenetic results indicate they are.
Distribution. India.
