Diagnosis after Bradford-Grieve (1999 b, p.145) :
- As for the family definition.
- Exopod segment 3 of P2 - P4 with 3 outer edge spines.
- Female P5 basipod 2 ornamented with a large distal spine, exopod segment 2 with a medium, curved inner edge spine, exopod segments 2 and 3 may be fused; endopods 1-segmented, with a variable number of setae.
- Male P5 with basipod 2 usually ornamented asymmetrically with large spines or projections; left exopod 2-segmented, segment 1 with 1 outer edge spine, segment 2 with a variable number of spines; endopods reduced or absent; right exopod 2-segmented, segment 1 with 1 outer edge spine, segment 2 may or may not be expanded with 3 outer edge spines and 1 terminal spine.

(4) Parathalassius Dussart, 1986
Rem.: Type: Parathalassius fagesi Dussart, 1986. Total: 1 sp.
In brackish water.

Definition from Bradford-Grieve (1999 b, p.147) :
- As for the family definition.
- Urosome female 4-segmented.
- Urosome male 5-segmented.
- A1 24-segmented.
- Left A1 male 24-segmented; 22-segmented on the right.
- P1-P4 endopod 3-segmented, with segment 3 supplied with external setae.
- P5 male and female biramous, each ramus 3-segmented.
- P5 male hardly modified compared with other swimming legs.

This genus is nearest ro the freshwater genera Pseudoboeckella and Hemiboeckella but the primitive character of P5 seems to make this genus the most primitive all known of Centropagidae (Dussart, 1986)

(5) Sinocalanus Burckhardt, 1913
Rem.: Fresh-water and in estuaries.
Total: 3 spp.
Characteristics of the genus (After J.J. Orsi, T.E. Bowman, D.C. Marelli & A. Hutchinson, 1983, p.358-359) : 1- Pediger 5 with spine on each posterior corner. 2- Caudal rami without surface spinules. 3- [A2 exopod longer than endopod.] Exopod of A2 longer than endopod 4- A2 distal endopod segment not longer than wide. 5- A2 exopod 2nd segment not distally bilobed. 6- Mxp 2nd basipod segment with modified short setae.

Nota: L.A. Bledzki informs us (29.08.2015) the error in the diagnosis from Orsi & al. (1983, p.358). 7- P5 female with 2nd exopod segment without outer spine ; 1st endopod segment without inner seta. 8- Right P5 male with 1st basipod segment withoutmedial process ; 2nd basipod segment with medial process (except in S. solstitialis).
