Diagnosis: Body flattened, with subparallel pereonites, pereonite 1 separated from head by shallow transverse groove, lateral margins of head and pereonite 1 shallow, convex. Pleonite 1 articulating with pleotelson, its posterior dorsal margin clearly indicated. Pleonite 2 of male dorsally doomed. Eyes prominent, bulbous. Antenna 2 flagellum of 2 articles plus claw. Maxillipedal palp article 3 not mesially lobed, about 1.5 times as wide as article 4. Pereopod 1 dactylus with unguis. Pereopods 2–4 with carpus longer than ischium and merus together; carpus and propodus tapering; fringed with long, pappose setae and some single simple setae on inferior margin; dactylus slender, unguis less than half length of body of dactylus, total 0.6 times propodus. Uropod biramous; exopod with terminal robust seta; endopod shorter than wide, with terminal stout seta. Penial plate tapering, apically bifid. Pleopod 1 of male exopod with 13 lateral plumose setae, with 9 distomesial plumose setae, with strong groove on its posterior face opening on short distolateral lobe; endopod shorter than exopod. Pleopod 2 with styliform appendix masculina, slightly longer than endopod. Oostegites unknown. Type species: Antares chuni zur Strassen, 1902. Included species: Pleuroprion chuni (zur Strassen, 1902). Remarks: Zur Strassen (1902) described a new species collected off South Africa and placed it in a new genus Antares.
