Type species: Hebefustis vafer Siebenaller & Hessler, 1977 Diagnosis Body slightly broadened, length about 3.8 times pereonite 2 width; dorsal cuticle bearing numerous setules. 5-segmented antennula with slightly bulbous, elongated terminal article; article 3 and 4 of similar length, without lateral projection. Pereopod 1 more robust and shorter than pereopods 2–7; carpus and propodus of pereopod 1 with few (= 4) robust, unequally bifid setae, dactylus with short, robust ventral spine distally. Pereonites 6–7 medially fused. Pleotelson with posterolateral spines. Uropods biramous, short, hardly projecting posterior margin; endopod and exopod nearly of same length (modified after Siebenaller & Hessler 1977). Remarks. The only specimen of H. hirsutus (Menzies, 1962) is no longer extant, and the sole specimen of H. primitivus (Menzies, 1962) is badly damaged ... : Published as part of Kaiser, Stefanie, 2008, First record and new species of the genus Hebefustis Siebenaller & Hessler, 1977 (Isopoda: Asellota: Nannoniscidae) from the deep Weddell Sea Basin *, pp. 467-481 in Zootaxa 1866 on pages 469-470, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.183769 ...
