Genus Mitrapus Song & Chen, 1976

The validity of Mitrapus as a generic level taxon needs testing as it shares multiple character states with Lernanthropus . The females are currently distinguished from female Lernanthropus only by the marked disparity between the lengths of the endopodal and exopodal lobes of leg 4. Given that the relative lengths of the rami of leg 4 can vary between species within both genera, this character is not robust. The males differ but male characters were not used in the phylogenetic analysis of Ho & Do (1985).
