Family Agathotanaidae Lang, 1971 Fig. 1 Remarks. At the time of writing, 36 species have been described in the Family Agathotanaidae, distributed in the four genera Agathotanais Hansen, 1913, Paragathotanais Lang, 1971, Metagathotanais Bird & Holdich, 1988, and Paranarthrura Hansen, 1913. The enigmatic Paranarthrurella Lang, 1971, considered to be very doubtfully placed in the Agathotanaidae by Bird & Holdich (1989), has recently been revised and unambiguously removed from the family, albeit placed with an incertae sedis category (Jóżwiak et al 2009). A recent paper on agathotanaids from Japanese waters by Larsen (2007) usefully summarised taxonomic changes and issues up to that date. Phylogenetic analyses are undoubtedly required to interrogate possible paraphyletic genera such as Paranarthrura but are beyond the scope of this paper. These may be linked to ongoing studies following Bird & Larsen (2009). A remaining taxonomic issue is the structure of the cheliped-cephalothorax articulation, i.e. ... : Published as part of Bird, Graham J, 2010, Tanaidacea (Crustacea, Peracarida) of the North-east Atlantic: the Agathotanaidae of the AFEN, BIOFAR and BIOICE projects, with a description of a new species of Paragathotanais Lang, pp. 1-22 in Zootaxa 2730 on pages 2-4, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.200143 ...
