0391F7729061FFC7FF7C2C954FC7E21E.taxon	description	The Principle of Priority rules that Vaunthompsoniidae Sars, 1878 has precedence over Bodotriidae Scott, 1901 when the two names are considered synonyms. The valid name for the family should thus be Vaunthompsoniidae Sars, 1878, with Bodotriinae subordinated at subfamily rank. However, ever since Hale (1944) treated the two names as confamilial, Bodotriidae has been treated as the valid name at family rank, with the senior name Vaunthompsoniinae subordinated at subfamily rank. This was clearly wrong under the 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd editions of the Code. Under the current 4 th edition (ICZN 1999), Art. 35.5 rules that “ If after 1999 a name in use for a family-group taxon [...] is found to be older than a name in prevailing usage for a taxon at higher rank in the same family-group taxon [...] the older name is not to displace the younger name ”. After having consulted with colleagues in the community of cumacean systematists, we maintain here Bodotriidae as the valid name at family rank.	en	Corbera, Jordi (2006): A new operculate cumacean genus (Bodotriidae, Vaunthompsoniinae) from deep waters of New Caledonia.

0391F7729061FFC7FCA62A2F4F7DE7B1.taxon	etymology	ETYMOLOGY. — From the Greek Skillaros, referring to its resemblance to the slipper lobsters (Decapoda, Scyllaridae), and Cuma, meaning embryo or larva and from which the order name derives.	en	Corbera, Jordi (2006): A new operculate cumacean genus (Bodotriidae, Vaunthompsoniinae) from deep waters of New Caledonia.

0391F7729061FFC7FCA62A2F4F7DE7B1.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. — Pseudorostral lobes flattened dorsoventrally, meeting in front of the frontal lobe, eyes absent. First pedigerous segment not visible. Exopods of third maxilliped and first pereopod developed, but rudimentary on second to fourth pereopods. Basis and ischium of first pereopod expanded laterally to form operculum fully covering mouth appendages. Pleon reduced, shorter than carapace length. Uropod endopod one-articulated.	en	Corbera, Jordi (2006): A new operculate cumacean genus (Bodotriidae, Vaunthompsoniinae) from deep waters of New Caledonia.

0391F7729061FFC7FCA62A2F4F7DE7B1.taxon	discussion	REMARKS In the three previously known operculate genera of the subfamily Vaunthompsoniinae, the operculum is formed by the expansions of the first pereopod as well as those of the third maxilliped (Hale 1936, 1944) (Table 1). However, in Scyllarocuma n. gen. the operculum is formed exclusively by the expansions of the basis and ischium of the first pereopod. Moreover, Scyllarocuma n. gen. has the first pedigerous segment not visible, the exopod of the second pereopod reduced, and the endopod of the uropod one-articulated.	en	Corbera, Jordi (2006): A new operculate cumacean genus (Bodotriidae, Vaunthompsoniinae) from deep waters of New Caledonia.

0391F7729062FFC4FF7D2BAD4884E7B1.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION OF IMMATURE FEMALE Carapace 0.4 times total length, smooth; pseudorostral lobes meeting in front of frontal lobe, flattened and expanded laterally, and reaching anterolateral angles; antennal notch absent; frontal lobe without eye. First pedigerous somite not visible externally; second to fourth pedigerous somites almost fused dorsally, with well developed pleural plates. Pleon reduced, shorter than carapace length. Well developed exopods on third maxilliped and first pereopod, rudimentary exopods on second to fourth pereopods. First antenna geniculate, second article of peduncle longer than first and three times as long as third; main flagellum two-articulated. Basis of third maxilliped shorter than rest of limb, with small simple setae on inner and outer margins as well as distal ventral face; ischium fused with basis; merus very short; carpus longer than propodus with five pappose setae on inner margin and several small simple setae on the outer; propodus with six long setae on inner margin, and several long simple setae and one pappose seta on outer margin; dactylus shorter than half length of propodus, with six acuminate setae of different length on tip. First pair of pereopods strongly modified forming operculum fully closing cavity between lateral folds of carapace; basis progressively expanded from proximal to terminal part, first article of exopod also slightly expanded; ischium very short between articulations, with basis and merus but greatly expanded laterally and distally forming a square plate that covers rest of appendage; merus short; carpus robust with some serrations on proximal inner margin; propodus also robust, as long as carpus, with brush of long micropectinated setae; dactylus rudimentary. Second pereopod with two-articulated exopod, basis shorter than length of two following segments combined; ischium fused with basis; merus and carpus of similar length, with acuminate setae on distal corners; propodus short; dactylus twice length of propodus, with three acuminate setae on tip. Third pereopod with twoarticulated exopod; basis of similar length to merus, with few pappose setae; ischium very short, with two long simple setae; merus with three long simple setae on distal third; carpus shorter than merus, slightly produced distally, with five long curved simple setae; propodus small with distal long simple seta. Uropod as long as last two abdominal somites; peduncle as long as wide; endopod one-articulated, twice as long as peduncle, with small simple seta terminally; exopod two-articulated, longer than endopod, with two simple setae terminally.	en	Corbera, Jordi (2006): A new operculate cumacean genus (Bodotriidae, Vaunthompsoniinae) from deep waters of New Caledonia.
