Laetmatophilus Bruzelius 



Laetmaiophilus Bruzelius, 1859. — Stebbing, 1906. 



Type-species: L. tuberculatus Bruzelius, 1859 (monotypy). See 

 Sars, 1895. 



Accessory flagellum absent; antennae subequal; pleon with only 

 five segments and only two pairs of uropods; uropod 2 lacking rami, 

 uropod 3 absent. Species: 7, cosmopolitan, littoral to bathyal. 



Figure 156. — -Podocerldae: Urosome, uropods and telson, dorsal view: a, Laetmatophilus 

 tuberculatus Bruzelius (Sars, 1895, pi. 226); b, Podocerus chelonophilus (Chevreux and de 

 Guerne) (Chevreux and Fage, 1925); c, Paradulichia typica Boeck (Sars, 1895, pi. 232); 

 d, Dulichia spinosissima Kr0yer (Sars, 1895, pi. 228); e, Icilius ovatus Dana (Stebbing, 

 1906). Maxilliped: /, Laetmatophilus. Gnathopods 1, 2: g,h, Laetmatophilus. Uropod 

 3: i, Icilius danae Stebbing (1910); j, Icilius punctatus Haswell (Stebbing, 1910); k, 

 Laetmatophilus. 



Leipsuropus Stebbing 



Leipsuropus Stebbing, 1899d; 1906. 



Type-species: Cyrtophium parasiticum Haswell, 1880b, 1885 

 (monotypy). 



Accessory flagellum absent; antenna 1 shorter than 2; pleon with 

 (6?) segments: "uropod 2 absent, uropod 3 short, joliaceous, ovate, 

 lacking rami" : these facts probably erroneous; probably uropod 8 is 

 absent, uropod 2 lacks rami, hence referring the genus to Laetmatophilus. 

 Species: 1, E. Australia, littoral.
