Eyes dorsolateral. Cephalon lacking rostrum. Maxillipedal endite longer than wide; palp articles 1–3 expanded. Pereopod 1 sexually dimorphic, often enlarged and expanded in male, carpochelate, dactylus reduced. Pereopods 2– 7, dactyli having three claws. Coxae visible on pereonites 2–7 in dorsal view. Pleon consisting of short free anterior pleonite lacking free lateral margins, plus broad pleotelson. Uropods with elongate protopod and rami.</p> <p>Remarks. The species of the genus Carpias are notoriously diYcult to identify, not least because of the variation with age or moult-stage of the male pereopod 1, this latter being the most useful single feature to distinguish species. The distribution of the species is further complicated by the fact that these tiny animals have been shown to raft on oating algae (Morris and Mogelberg, 1973), and are also probably capable of clinging to fouling organisms on oating objects including ships. Eight species, including the three reported here, have been recorded from the Indian Ocean. Several have very wide distributions in more than one ocean. Unfortunately, until a range of material from each locality is examined, identi cations will remain uncertain, and identi cation keys will have little meaning.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FCF375FFB5D35986A72E93E570F94E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pereopod 1 in male, carpus about same width proximally as distally, with two strong distal teeth on posterior margin; propodus narrow, curved, tapering slightly, reaching proximally to merus; dactylus very short, biunguiculate in immature animal, becoming reduced to cluster of simple setae in mature animals.</p> <p>Remarks. Identi cation of what is frequently the most abundant shallow water isopod in tropical regions is complicated by the variation with growth of the male pereopod 1. There is a progressive decrease and eventual loss of the dactylus, from a small biunguiculate article (at total length of about 1.5 mm), to the point where the dactylus is represented by a clump of elongate simple setae (total length 2.4–2.7 mm) (see Pires, 1982, gures 56–62). Given this variability with age, any species distinguished by characters of the male rst pereopod must be treated with caution. A further complication is the fact that species of Carpias are known to raft on oating algae (e.g. Kensley et al., 1995), thereby making even a tentative identi- cation based on geography impossible. Given this rafting ability, it is possible that several species of Carpias have a tropical/subtropical distribution in several oceans. The male rst pereopod of what is assumed to be C. algicola from the Caribbean (Belize and Cuba), and the Indian Ocean (Aldabra and Mahé), at various total body lengths is illustrated to demonstrate the variability mentioned above.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FCF375FFB3D35886AE2BC0E5B1FBB8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pereopod 1 in male, carpus longer than wide, widening distally, with strong triangular posterodistal lobe, palm concave with single peg-like tooth and smaller low lobe close to propodal articulation; propodus about four times longer than wide; dactylus short, one-ninth length of propodus, biunguiculate. Pereopods 2–7 having triunguiculate dactyli. Pleopod 1 in male, rami tapering distally to narrow acute distolateral apex.

Carpias brucei Monod, 1974 (see Pires, 1982: 241, gure 35–41) from the Seychelles most closely resembles C. mossambica in the structure of the male pereopod 1. The carpal teeth in the two species are identical. Carpias brucei, however, possesses two strong teeth on the posterior margin of the propodus not seen in the present species. The rst pleopod of the male is also very similar in both species. The earlier species, however, appears to have a more setose body, and to have more sensory setae on the propodi and carpi of the ambulatory pereopods. Pereopod 1 of C. mossambica shows no variation in the three male specimens available.</p> <p>Etymology.

Species of the genus Joeropsis are widespread in tropical and temperate waters, occurring primarily in shallow habitats. Most are small (less than 5 mm total length), and morphologically very similar, with mouthparts, pereonal and pleonal appendages showing little variation. Five characters which do vary have been used to separate species: degree of setation of the body; serration of the lateral margins of the cephalon; shape of the rostrum; presence or absence of a strong mesiodistal tooth on the uropodal protopod; serration of the lateral margins of the pleon. As with so many groups of crustaceans, species of Joeropsis can be easily separated when alive or freshly dead, on colour pattern alone. If the animals are preserved in alcohol, this pigmentation is lost with time.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FCF375FFBED35486B32FB7E547FE85	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Rostrum broadly rounded, basally wider than midlength, anterior margin having about ten teeth. Cephalon having low rounded bump in position of antennal tooth; anterolateral tooth large, acute, not reaching anteriorly as far as rostrum. Eyes reniform, composed of 13 ommatidia arranged in 2.5 rows. Pleotelson width about one-third greater than middorsal length, lateral margin with single small tooth. Pereopod 1 in male with merus having anterior and posterior patches of elongate setae on mesial surface, stout anterodistal seta present; carpus with anterior and posterior dense patch of elongate setae; propodus longer than wide, widening distally, with band of dense elongate setae on anterior margin, palm demarcated by stout seta, followed by nine or ten more slender fringed setae; dactylus with ten fringed setae on posterior margin. Pereopod 2, ischium having rounded ange on anterior margin bearing six stout setae; merus with anterodistal lobe bearing single stout seta; carpus rectangular, having three stout setae on posterior margin; propodus shorter than carpus, rectangular, with four stout setae on posterior margin; dactylus with two strong ungui plus smaller more proximal seta.</p> <p>Remarks. The easiest diVerence to detect, between the present species and P. stenetrioides lies in the rostrum: rounded and entire in the earlier species, rounded and toothed in P. meganesus. The latter is dorsally very sparsely setose, unlike P. stenetrioides which is fairly densely setose. The pattern of dense elongate setae on the mesial surface of pereopod 1 in the male diVers between the two species, with a distinctive anterior and posterior patch on both the merus and carpus in P. meganesus. This species apparently also lacks the strong patch of pigment on the dorsum of the cephalon seen in the earlier species.</p> <p>The three species of Pseudojanira recorded from Australia (P. investigatoris Poore and Just, 1990; P. justi Serov and Wilson, 1999; P. fremantlensis Serov and Wilson, 1999) all possess narrowly triangular rostra, unlike the two western Indian Ocean species.</p> <p>Etymology.

Pereopod 1 of male, carpus with digitiform posterodistal extension; expanded propodal palm with six teeth, outermost largest; posterior margin of carpus and propodus densely setose; dactylus reaching beyond outermost propodal tooth. Operculum of female pentagonal, length 1.25 times width.</p> <p>Previous records. Gulf of Suez; Sri Lanka; Amirante Islands.</p> <p>Remarks. Nordenstam (1946) noted that the male described by Monod (1933) from the Gulf of Suez as S. chiltoni Stebbing, 1905, could not be that species, given the single pleotelsonic tooth (instead of serrate lateral margins of the pleotelson). Nordenstam proposed the name S. monodi, but gave no further description. Monod’s gures of the Gulf of Suez material, however, showing the cephalon, pleotelson, and pereopod 1 all agree closely with the present material. Stenetrium dodo Müller, 1991d from Réunion Island is very similar to the present species. As indicated in the key above, a diVerence of one tooth on the propodal palm in both male and female seems to be the major diVerences between the species. The colour pattern as illustrated by Müller (1991d, gure 16) is also very similar to H. monodi.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FCF375FFACD341868C2E93E587FEE3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Cephalon having strong anterolateral tooth, lacking antennal tooth; rostrum much wider than long, anterior margin straight. Lateral margin of pleotelson with single tooth. Eyes reniform. Red-brown pigment in broad rather diVuse bands on cephalon, anterior half of pereonite 1, on pereonites 2–7, and over most of pleotelson, with small darker patch middorsally at base of pleotelson. Pereopod 1 in male with carpus not produced; propodus about 1.6 times longer than greatest width, with ve strong teeth on oblique poorly de ned palm; dactylus when folded against propodus reaching just beyond proximalmost propodal tooth. Operculum of female roughly pentagonal, about 1.8 times longer than wide. Pleopod 2 in male, copulatory stylet distally tapered to narrow tubular apex, with strong spinose subapical process directed laterally.</p> <p>Remarks. Two characters separate this species from almost all other species of Stenetrium, namely the distally tapered copulatory stylet with its subapical spinose process, and the relatively long and narrow pereopod 1 in the male, with its strongly oblique spinose palm. Typical Stenetrium species have a distally truncate copulatory stylet and a pereopod 1 propodus about as long as wide, with a transverse palm. Whether these two characters are suYcient to justify a separate genus is doubtful, given the degree of variability seen among species of Stenetrium. Nevertheless, attention is drawn to the unusual features of this species by implying some doubt as to its generic placement. Stenetrium glauerti Nicholls, 1929, from Rottnest Island, Western Australia, appears to have a similar pleopod 2 in the male.</p> <p>Etymology. The speci c name refers to the ve propodal teeth on pereopod 1 of the male.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03FCF375FF94D37E86BA2BC0E741FCFF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
