Genus Siphonophora Brandt, 1837 View in CoL
See the Discussion chapter concerning the uncertainties surrounding this genus. Of the four known Brazilian species referred to Siphonophora , S. hebetunguis and the two new species described here share an unusual, paddle-like shape of the claws. Considering the unsatisfactory state of siphonophorid genus-level classification, we refrain from suggesting that this character might warrant the recognition of a separate genus.
