DIAGNOSIS Frontal lamina projecting ventrally. Pleopod 1, exopod indu- 

 rate, opercular; endopod membranous, less than half width of exopod.

Subfamily Conilerinae, new name 



DIAGNOSIS Clypeus flattened. Frontal lamina flat, narrow. Antennal ped- 

 uncular articles 3 and 4 subequal. Pereopods 1-3, ischium and merus pro- 

 duced anterodistally. Pereopods lacking secondary unguis on dactyli. Nata- 

 tory setae present on pereopods 4-7. 



REMARKS In a discussion of the Cirolanidae, Botosaneanu, Bruce, and 

 Notenboom (1986:412) refer to the subfamilies Eurydicinae and Cirolaninae 

 but place the Conilera group under the heading "Unnamed Subfamily." For 

 consistency, the Conilera group is here recognized as a subfamily.
