CB57879EFF9AFFA3FE86F8BAFCF70A03.taxon	discussion	Remarks. As now defined Bowmaniella n. g. contains two species, the type B. dissimilis (Coifmann, 1937) from the western Atlantic, and its eastern Pacific cognate, B. banneri (Băcescu, 1968). Bowmaniella is characterized by: (1) an articulated, posterodorsal process on the fifth abdominal segment (see Fig. 1); (2) the ultimate or terminal male form with third pleopod lacking a bow, or if bow present, lacking apophysis; (3) the penultimate male form with third pleopod lacking ventral process on outer branch and having an inner stylet present on inner branch; (4) lacking small spiniform­setae posterior to the uropodal statocyst; and (5) the posterodorsal margin of carapace having mid­dorsal lobe convex with adjacent medial lobes quadrate, not attenuated or reflected anteriorly. Based on examination of type material and the literature, two of the four nominal species attributable to Bowmaniella n. g. are synonyms. The status of these synonymies is discussed in the remarks section for the type species.	en	Heard, Richard W., Price, W.

CB57879EFF92FFABFE86F91CFE7609FB.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The genus is named in honour of Isabella Coifmann, in recognition of her pioneering contribution to the knowledge of Brazilian Mysida.	en	Heard, Richard W., Price, W. Wayne (2006): Revision of Bowmaniella sensu B cescu, 1968 (Crustacea: Mysida: Mysidae: Gastrosaccinae): a taxonomic conundrum. Zootaxa 1269: 1-29, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.173223
CB57879EFF92FFABFE86F91CFE7609FB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Coifmanniella n. g. is immediately distinguished from the genus Bowmaniella n. g. by lacking an articulated process on the posterodorsal margin of the fifth abdominal segment. Coifmannella further differs from Bowmaniella by: (1) having a bow with an associated apophysis on the terminal male third pleopod; (2) the penultimate male having a ventral process on outer branch and lacking an inner stylet on inner branch; and (3) the presence of small spiniform­setae distal to the uropodal statocyst. Inconsistencies and confusion in some the characters used by Băcescu (1968) to distinguish the nominal subgenera of Bowmaniella and Coifmanniella led Brattegard (1970 a) and Holmquist (1982) to not recognize their validity. Based on the recognition of the distinct differences in the penultimate and ultimate male stages (e. g. development and complexity of the third male pleopod), and in the setation patterns of the uropodal endopod, we have a better understanding of the taxonomy and systematics of Coifmanniella n. g. as diagnosed in this report. This information leads us to synonymise seven of 11 nominal species now attributable to Coifmanniella. The following four species are now recognized.	en	Heard, Richard W., Price, W.

CB57879EFF8AFFB3FE86F9D8FCD6084B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Coifmanniella parageia (Brattegard, 1970), which is the terminal form of C. sewelli Brattegard, 1970, is designated as the senior synonym since it represents the ultimate male stage for the species. It is interesting to note that most of the paratypes chosen by Brattegard (Brattegard, 1970) for both male forms of C. parageia and C. sewelli were taken from the same sample in the Bahamas.	en	Heard, Richard W., Price, W.
