‘ eximius ’ group

Diagnosis: Body short, less than five times as long as wide. All pereonites wider than long. Antennule twice as long as carapace. Cheliped elongated (carpus four times as long as wide).

Species included: Typhlotanais eximius Hansen, 1913 ; T. spinipes Kudinova-Pasternak 1982 ; Typhlotanais sp. A .

Remarks: The species included in this group share characters listed in the diagnosis. Because of the scarcity or unavailability of the material, further analysis to justify the erection of this (‘ eximus ’) group is not possible at the moment. Such quandaries explain the question marks ahead of the names above.
