Leptognathiid with cheliped fixed finger and dactylus simple. Uropod exopod one-articled. Remarks. Leptognathia has suffered both the greatest accretion and, latterly, attrition of all tanaidomorphan genera as species have been added to it or removed in subsequent revisions (e.g. Hansen 1913; Lang 1968; Bird & Holdich 1984; Sieg 1986a; and Larsen & Shimomura 2007). Further revision and contraction is anticipated. Published as part of Bird, Graham J., 2007, Leptognathiidae Sieg, 1976 *, pp. 61-85 in Zootaxa 1599 on pages 79-80, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.178698
