TYPE MATERIAL OF STEGOCEPHALIDAE 
attingens is separated from the latter species by the shape of coxa 4 
(S. auratus has a very deep coxa with the lower margin straight, 
whereas in S. attingens coxa 4 is not as deep and the lower margin is 
curved), by the strongly reduced oostegite on pereopod 2, and by 
article 4 on antenna 2 being almost as long as article 5.
