Pereopods 1–3 basis not broader than that of pereopods 4–6, superior margin with large plumose sensory seta (PSS); pereopod-1 carpus with two bayonet spines, pereopods 2–3 with three. Pereopods 4–6 carpus with three bayonet spines and superodistal rod-like seta; pereopods 4–5 propodus with one superodistal spine, pereopod-6 with three (sometimes slender).

Remarks Chauliopleona is an Akanthophoreus or Parakanthophoreus -like genus with pleonite-5 supporting an acute, recurved, sternal spur. Diagnoses of this akanthophoreid genus have been given previously several times (see above). Twelve species have been described to date (Anderson 2013; Larsen and Araújo-Silva 2014) but it has been a problematic genus, mainly because it has been difficult to find diagnostic and phylogenetically valid characters that separate it from Akanthophoreus , Parakanthophoreus and Paraleptognathia , other than the pleonal spur. There has also been speculation that the pleonal spur might only be a sex-related character (Bamber, Larsen pers. comm.). Surprisingly, this was the only character in the original generic diagnosis (Dojiri and Sieg 1997, p. 231). Its status in mancae remains unresolved as none of these were identified as Chauliopleona in the present study; it is quite possible that the spur is absent in this developmental stage and they would be indistinguishable from mancae of Akanthophoreus or Parakanthophoreus . : Published as part of Bird, Graham John, 2015, Tanaidacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) of the northeast Atlantic: Chauliopleona Dojiri and Sieg, 1997 and Saurotipleona n. gen. from the ' Atlantic Margin', pp. 1507-1547 in Journal of Natural History 49 (25) on pages 1514-1515, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2015.1005715, http://zenodo.org/record/3999694 : {"references": ["Hansen HJ. 1913.
