Genus DOLORIA Skogsberg, 1920

The genus Doloria is subdivided into two subgenera on the basis of the structure of the fifth limb. Doloria (Doloria) includes D. (Doloria) levis (type-species) and D. (Doloria) sarsi and show the 4th and 5th exopodite segments of fifth limb fused and armed with only 2 bristles, and the lobes of 3rd segment with 2+2 bristles. Doloria (Dolorietta) subgen. nov., includes 9 species: D. (Dolorietta) antarctica sp. nov. (type species), D. (Dolorietta) pectinata , D. (Dolorietta) levinsoni , D. (Dolorietta) septenaria , D. (Dolorietta) isaacsi , D. (Dolorietta) mawsoni , D. (Dolorietta) sextafiliformis sp. nov., D. ( Dolorietta ) sp. nov. 1 and D. ( Dolorietta ) sp. nov. 2. in which the 5th segment of the fifth limb may or may not be fused to the 4th segment; these segments carry a total of 5–9 bristles. The lobes of the 3rd segment of the fifth limb have 2+3 bristles. In addition the species of these two subgenera differ in: (1) the number of the filaments on sensory bristle of the 5th segment of the antennula; (2) the number of bristles on the epipodite of the appendage of the 5th segment and on the 4th endite of sixth limb.
