Ortmann includes in the family the two genera Processa 
and Glyphocrangon, transferring Lysmata to his family 
Latreutidae. For Glyphocrangon, A. Milne-Edwards, Alcock 
adopts a separate family Glyphocrangonidae, not accepting 
Ortmann’s sub-family Glyphocrangoninae. The name Lysma- 
tidae is adapted by Rathbun from the sub-family Lysmatinae, 
Kingsley, 1878, and implies the inclusion of Risso’s Lysmata 
in combination with Processa. Miss Rathbun defines the 
family as having ‘‘ Rostrum horizontal with the dorsal surface 
of the carapace ; mandible; without a cutting edge and without 
palp ; first pair of trunk legs more or less chelate, and stronger 
than the second, but not so long; second minutely chelate, 
with carpus sub-divided.” Lysmata is sharply distinguished 
from Processa by having three flagella instead of two on the 
first antenna, and the first four pair of trunk legs furnished 
with epipods, of which they are devoid in Processa.
