Paradoxapseudes Guţu, 1991

Type species. Paradoxapseudes cubensis Guţu, 1991

Remarks. Guţu (1991a) erected the monotypic genus Paradoxapseudes on the basis of one main morphological character—the absence of the inner flagellum of the antennule and assigned the genus to the Tanapseudidae Băcescu, 1978 . The genus was later transferred to the family Apseudidae by Guţu (2001), according to the pereopodal morphology and the presence of several common features of Paradoxapseudes and Gollumudes Bamber, 2000 . Guţu (2008) later emended the diagnosis of the genus and synonymised Gollumudes with Paradoxapseudes . To date, fifteen species are recognised for the genus, including the type species, ten new combinations, and four newly described species. The present study adds one new species to the genus.
