Genus Eosymtes Bousfield & Hendrycks, 1994 View in CoL
Eosymtes Bousfield & Hendrycks, 1994: 43 View in CoL .— Hendrycks & Bousfield 2004: 49.
Type species. Eosymtes minutus Bousfield & Hendrycks, 1994 View in CoL .
Species. Including the new species described here, Eosymtes View in CoL contains two species: E. minutus Bousfield & Hendrycks, 1994 View in CoL ; E. magnumoculis View in CoL sp. nov.
Diagnosis (from Bousfield & Hendrycks 1994 with additions). Body smooth. Rostrum short. Lateral head lobe rounded. Eyes rounded or reniform. Antenna 1, peduncle 1 without antero-distal process. Antenna 2, peduncular segments 4 and 5 setose.
Mandible, row of raker setae short, with 4–7 pectinate blades; left lacinia 6–7-dentate; right lacinia blade-like. Maxilla 1, inner plate with two stout plumose apical setae. Maxilla 2, inner plate with two strong submarginal setae. Maxilliped, inner plate with 2–4 apical button spine-like setae; palp segment 3 not produced distally, broadened, dactylus slender, curved, micro-pectinate.
Coxal plates 1–4 medium, increasing posteriorly; posterodistally with one small cusp. Coxal gills medium, sac-like.
Pereopods 1 & 2 (gnathopods 1 & 2) medium, subsimilar; carpus shorter than propodus, posterodistal lobe shallow; palmar margin of propodus oblique, without medium tooth.
Pereopods 3–7 slender, medium long, dactylus elongate. Pereopods 5–7, coxae shallow, lobes rounded; bases broadly rounded behind, increasing in size posteriorly, hind margin serrate.
Epimeral plates 1–3, posterior corners acuminate, not produced. Uropod 3 slender, outer ramus not more than 2/3 the length of the inner ramus.
Telson linguiform, apex subtruncate or rounded, incised; with proximal keel.
Distribution. Marine waters of boreal part of Pacific Ocean ( Bousfield & Hendrycks 1994, Hendrycks & Bousfield 2004, Labay 2018).
Relationships. Eosymtes differs from Cognateosymtes by the following combination of character states ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 , 2 View FIGURE 2 ): antenna 1, peduncular segment 1 without strong anterodistal processes; coxae 1–3, posterodistal cusps posterodistally with one small cusp, not multiple; maxilliped, palp segment 2 linear, inner margin densely setose; dactylus of pereopods 3–7 medium in length ( Labay 2018).
Remarks. Labay (2018) pointed out as one of the signs the setulation of outer and inner plates of maxilla 2: “ Cognateosymtes differs from Eosymtes by … outer and inner plates of maxilla 2 with numerous apical setae”. The following description of the new species Eosymtes magnumoculis sp. nov. shows that this feature is invalid.
