Remarks. The genus Sternostylus , representing the family Sternostylidae , was established very recently based on the unique morphology of the sternal plastron, the proximity of third maxillipeds, being adjacent to each other, and the P2–4 dactyli ending in a spine that is not clearly demarcated from the remainder of the dactylus, and supported by the available molecular data (Baba et al. 2018).
