Genus: Typhlamia View in CoL n. gen.
Diagnosis: Body long, about 8–9 times as long as wide. Carapace about as wide as long, tapering proximally, rounded marginally. Pereonites clearly rounded marginally. Antennule twice as long as carapace; antennule article-1 over six times as long as wide (occasionally with suture in the middle of article); antennule article-3 slender, about ten times as long as wide, with distal setae as long as half of whole appendage. Maxilliped basis with seta reaching far beyond endites. Cheliped bases not reaching the pereonite-1 ventrally. Pereopods 1 and 3 coxa without spur, pereopod-1 with long seta on carpus; pereopods 4–6 prickly tubercles small; unguis with bifid tip. Pleopod rami with gap between most proximal seta and others. Uropod endopod two-articled, exopod one-articled.
Male: Unknown.
Etymology: Typhlos (Gr.) = blind, Lamia – the goddess with long hair. The name reflects long setae on the antennule.
Gender of generic name: Feminine.
Type species: Typhlamia bella View in CoL n. sp.
Species included: Typhlamia View in CoL (= Typhlotanais View in CoL ) mucronata ( Hansen, 1913) View in CoL ; Typhlamia View in CoL (= Typhlotanais View in CoL ) sandersi ( Kudinova-Pasternak, 1985) View in CoL ; Typhlamia bella View in CoL n. sp.
Remarks: The genus can immediately be distinguished by having a long antennule bearing long setae. In general body habitus (rounded pereonites in dorsal view, long cheliped with basis not reaching pereonite-1 ventrally) Typhlamia resembles Typhlotanais variabilis , but it differs in having a uni-articulated exopod of uropods, a bifurcated unguis and small prickly tubercles on pereopods 4–6.
