Styloptocumoides gen. nov. Type species . Styloptocumoides australiensis sp. nov., here designated. Diagnosis . Carapace with short pseudorostrum, eyeless ocular lobe reaches its extremity. 5 free pedigerous somites. No trace of exopods in maxilliped 3 or pereopods in females. Gender. Masculine. Etymology . The new genus looks like Styloptocuma Băcescu and Muradian, 1974. Remarks. The closest genus to Styloptocumoides is Styloptocuma Băcescu and Muradian, 1974, especially regarding the carapace, with the ocular lobe reaching the tip of the pseudorostrum. The main difference is the total absence of exopods in the females of Styloptocumoides . A second difference is five instead of four free thoracic segments.
