TYPE MATERIAL OF STEGOCEPHALIDAE 

Fig. 35 Stegocephaloides ledoyeri sp.nov., holotype. 
Uropod 3 peduncle longer than half the length of rami, outer 
ramus |-articulate, outer ramus longer than inner. 
Telson longer than broad, longer than peduncle uropod 3, cleft, 
apically pointed, no submarginal setae on apex of each lobe. 
MALE. Pereopod 2 propodus larger in males than in females. 
Urosome ordinary (similar to females). 
REMARKS. The present species is distinguished from all other 
Stegocephaloides species by the combination of a distally rounded 
basis of pereopod 7 and a short article 4 on the peduncle of the 
second antenna (about 1/2 the length of article 5). 
ETYMOLOGY. This species is named after Prof. M. Ledoyer, who 
first described material of this species (Ledoyer 1986:962, identified 
as Stegocephaloides attingens). 
DISCUSSION 
The present paper is part of series that will lead to a complete 
revision of the family (Berge & Vader, in press.), that will also 
include a cladistic analysis of all its species. Thus, the species treated 
herein are described without any further reference to their 
phylogenetic relationships. Consequently, some of these species 
may, in future, be transferred to different genera.
