Genus

(4) Parathalassius Dussart, 1986details

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, 1913details

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).
