Genus Annexos gen. nov.

Diagnosis. Coxa of pereopod 1 with conspicuous spine-like apophysis. Rostrum triangular, cephalon without spines anterior to the branchial chamber; pereonites 3 to 6 with anterior spine-like apophyses; pleotelson longer than wide. Antennule with internal margin of proximal peduncle article finely corrugated; flagella multisegmented. Cheliped and pereopod 1 without exopodite. Pereopods 1 to 3 with proximal inner hooks on basis. 5 pairs of pleopods; uropods filiform and multi-segmented.

Etymology. Contrived from an – without, and exopod, the only character which removes this taxon from Apseudes being the absence of an exopod on the cheliped and on pereopod 1.

Type species. Annexos abditospina sp. nov. by original designation.
