Description
Summary:Genus Ischyrocerus n. comb. Supplementary Table S4 Type species. Ischyrocerus anguipes Krøyer, 1838 Diagnosis (with differences from Neoischyrocerus in bold). Body length at maturity 2–18 mm, though most species are> 5 mm long at adulthood. Primarily known from the Northern Hemisphere in cold temperate to polar waters from 32°N (La Jolla, California; J.L. Barnard 1969) to 81°N in the Arctic Ocean (Stephensen 1944), collected from algae, hydroids, crabs or substrate unknown, 1 to ~ 2000 m. Widely known in Europe but not in the Southern Hemisphere, although one species was found at 42°S off of Chile (J.L. Barnard 1964). Pereon: dorsally smooth (most species), ridged or carinate (some species). Antenna 1: accessory flagellum 2 articles (second minute), flush with the flagellum or rarely projecting forward; antenna 2 peduncle article 4, 115–170% wider than antenna 1 peduncle article 2 (or rarely equal width), setae and setal pattern similar to antenna 1 or setae shorter, occasionally plumose. Gnathopod 2, adult male: 100–220% the length of gnathopod 1, basis usually not especially elongate, propodus elongate and slender or short and broad (rarely similar to gnathopod 1); coxa 1 70–140% the depth of coxa 2; basis concave or straight; ischium anteriorly rounded or straight; propodus variably shaped, slender or broad (posterior length 120–290% of central width), palm only on the distal portion of the propodus or nearly the full length of the propodus, without a bulge or tooth defining it proximally at the junction of the carpus, palm variously toothed; dactyl 33–75% the length of the propodus. Gnathopod 2, juvenile male: shorter than the adult male gnathopod 2, palm bearing 1–2 strong spines about midway along the length of the propodus, dactyl ending at the spines. Gnathopod 2, female: only slightly larger than gnathopod 1, palm of the propodus convex or concave. Pereopods 3 and 4: propodus, posterior margin bearing setae but not spines; c oxa 4, posterior margin straight to shallowly concave. Pereopod 5, male: ...
