flagellum well developed. The labrum is roundish, with a notch in the 

 anterior part. The mandibles have a rudimentary one-segmented palp. 

 Maxillae I have a weakly developed outer lobe. Maxillae II have narrow 

 lobes that are equal in length. The maxillipeds are small, weakly armed, 

 and have narrow inner lobes. Perepods VI-VII are short and strong, with 

 falcate claws. The uropods are weak, the tips of the rami obtuse. 

 Type species: Pseudomimonectes robustus Vinogradov, 1960.

Vinogradov, 1960a : 219. 



Known from just one immature specimen 4.5 mm in length. 



The body is compact. The head is equal in length to pereon somite I. 

 The mouth cone projects slightly. Antennae I are well developed; the 

 vesicular, bulging, four-segmented flagellum is 2.5 times longer than the 

 peduncle, its distal segments constituting 1/4 the length of the conical 

 proximal segment. Antennae II are equal in length to the peduncle of 

 antennae I. 



The labrum in round, with a notch on the anterior margin, which is 

 characteristic of the Mimonectes. The mandibles are large, the width of 

 the accessory plate slightly more than the width of the cutting edge. The 

 broadly oval palp of maxillae I bears two setae and two short spines at
