Treatment

Sudanea View in CoL n. gen.

Diagnostic characters

Mandible without palp. Gn 1 about as long as but clearly wider than Gn 2; Gn 2 with parallel margins. P 6,7 basis widened. T without spines.

Remarks

The narrow second gnathopod with parallel margins strongly reminds of the genus Chucullba J.L. Barnard 1974 , where both gnathopods show this shape. The propodus of Gn 1 is quite similar to Gn 2 of Sandrothoe Krapp-Schickel, 2010 , where also the urosome is matching; but in Sandrothoe the basis of P 6, 7 is rectangular.
