Barnard, 1930). Type species. Lepidepecreella ctenophora Schellenberg, 1926, monotypy. Diagnosis. With the characters of the family. Remarks. There is some doubt as to whether all species of Lepidepecreella have a uniramous uropod 3 with a large projecting spur on the peduncle or whether some have a biramous uropod 3. Stephensen (1931: 6) when synonymising Paracyclocaris K.H. Barnard, 1930 with Lepidepecreella commented that "... probably the single difference is uropod 3: with two rami (one very short) in Lepidepecreella , with one ramus in Paracyclocaris ." Although Schellenberg (1926) depicted a biramous uropod 3 for L. ctenophora (the type species of Lepidepecreella ) we have examined the type material and found that the supposed inner ramus is not articulated and is really a projection of the peduncle. It is likely that other species which have been reported or illustrated as having a biramous uropod 3 ( L. cymba and possibly L. charno ) have this same condition. Species composition. Lepidepecreella now contains 11 species: L. andeep Berge, Vader & Lockhart, 2004; L . bidens (K.H. Barnard, 1930); L . charno J.L. Barnard, 1966; L . ctenophora Schellenberg, 1926; L . cymba (Goës, 1866); L . emarginata Nicholls, 1938; L . nellae sp. nov. L . ovalis K.H.
