Genus Annandaleum Newman & Ross, 1971

Annandaleum Newman & Ross, 1971: 122 ; Zevina, 1978b: 1346.

Diagnosis. Sexes separate, capitulum of female with 14 reduced plates; tergum forming inverted V-shape; scutum with relatively long apico-lateral arm, about 1/4–1/2 length of tergal margin, basal margin entire; upper latus pentagonal to triangular, with or without additional arm or arms; carinal latus as high as wide, umbo at basi-carinal angle; inframedian latus higher than wide, vase-shaped, umbo sub-medial or basal; rostral latus wider than high; caudal appendage long, with five to eleven segments.

Type species. Scalpellum subflavum Annandale, 1906b .

Composition. Six species.

Distribution. Worldwide. Known depth range 794 to 6810 m.

Remarks. Zevina (1978b) subsequently designated Scalpellum japonicum Hoek, 1883 as the type species of Annadaleum, but Newman & Ross (1971) had already designated S. subflavum as the type. Their designation takes priority. However, some later authors such as Young (2007) have followed Zevina's designation.
