Armature formula of swimming legs P1 to P4.
Setation sometimes reduced; outer spine on 1st and 2nd exopodal segments of P1 lacking in most species.

Nota: Female typically asymmetrical with right leg missing and left leg rudimentary, 2-segmented, with 2nd segment forming a bifid process: rarely both legs present.
- Male P5 asymmetical; right leg reduced to 1 to 3-segmented process; left leg elongate; comprising coxa, elongate basis and 3-segmented exopod; 2nd exopodal seglment sometimes armed with outer spine, ornamented with row of long spinules in Mesaiokeras mikhailini Andronov; distal segment with up to 2 inner elements.
- Eggs released into water.

Rem.: Formes hyperbenthiques.
A l'occasion de la description de ce nouveau genre, Matthews discute la validité des deux sections Amphascandria et Isokerandria.
La famille des Mesaiokeratidae présente des caractères qui l'apparente à celles des Scolecitrichidae et des Diaixidae.
Type: Mesaiokeras nanseni Matthews,1961. Total: 9 spp.
Remarques sur les dimensions et le sex-ratio:
The mean female size is 0.520 mm (n = 11, SD = 0.231), and the mean male size is 0.490 mm (n = 2, SD = 0.217). The size ratio male: female is 0.942.
If the arctic species (M. spitsbergensis Schulz & Kwasniewski, 2004) is not included, we obtain: mean size female: 0.420 mm (n = 9; SD = 0.0630), and mean male size 0.409 mm (n = 12; SD = 0.0735) and a size ratio male:female 0.973.
