03B22D57FF85FFF2FF790FC7FC5C46D1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Latigammaropsis dionysus sp. nov. resembles L. afra (Stebbing, 1888), but has a round eye, whereas in L. afra it is reniform. It also differs markedly from L. afra in the weakly acute palm of the male gnathopod 2. It is more similar to material described by J. L. Barnard (1970) from Hawaii under the name Gammaropsis afra. In Hawaiian material, however, the male gnathopod 2 palm is convoluted whereas in present material the palm is almost straight. This species differs from L. athenae in lacking long setae on the male gnathopod 2. It is very similar to L. hermes sp. nov. (see remarks section for that species).	en	Myers, Alan A.

03B22D57FF9DFFEBFF790DC6FF5C422B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is easily recognisable by its setose coxae and relatively long inner ramus of uropod 3. This latter is a plesiomorphic state in Photis and was responsible for this species being placed, with P. malinalco J. L. Barnard, 1967 in a subgenus Cedrophotis by Barnard (1967). Long coxal setae are also found in Dodophotis distinguenda (Ruffo, 1955), but that species has a vestigial inner ramus on uropod 3 and in P. lamellifera Schellenberg, 1928, from which it differs in the longer carpus of gnathopod 1, as well as by its longer uropod 3 inner ramus. Long coxal setae are found also in the Californian species P. brevipes Shoemaker, 1942, P. californica Stout, 1913 and P. conchicola Alderman, 1936, but all three species have the male gnathopod 2 with a large spine on the posterodistal margin of the propodus.	en	Myers, Alan A.

In the elongate propodus of pereopods 3 – 4 this species resembles P. paeowai Myers, 1995, from Papua New Guinea. That species however, has an even more slender propodus and very elongate dactylus on these appendages. It further differs from P. paeowai in its smaller eye, longer coxa 1 and longer carpus in the female gnathopod 2. It differs from P. pirloti Myers, 1985 in its much smaller eye and complexly excavated palm of gnathopod 2. It differs from P. aina J. L. Barnard, 1970 in lacking long setae on the coxae. It shows some similarity with P. sinensis Ren, 2006, but differs from that species in the vestigial inner ramus of uropod 3, that of P. sinensis being fully half the length of the outer ramus.	en	Myers, Alan A.

03B22D57FF94FFE1FF790A36FEAE45C9.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Latin: Virga meaning a rod (referring to the unexpanded pereopods), as a prefix to Gammaropsis, a related genus.	en	Myers, Alan A. (2009): Photidae *. Zootaxa 2260 (1): 771-799, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2260.1.43, URL: https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.2260.1.43
03B22D57FF94FFE1FF790A36FEAE45C9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Head anteroventral margin weakly recessed, not extending behind posterior margin of eye; lateral cephalic lobes rounded. Mandible palp article 3 rod-shaped, parallel-sided. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 longer than article 3; accessory flagellum distinct and multiarticulate. Coxae 1 – 2 without spines on distal margin. Coxa 1 not distally acute. Gnathopod 2 distinctly larger than gnathopod 1. Gnathopods 1 – 2 and pereopods 3 – 5 (probably also 6 and 7) with weakly expanded bases. Urosomites 1 – 2 without dorsolateral spines. Included species. Virgammaropsis artemis sp. nov.	en	Myers, Alan A. (2009): Photidae *. Zootaxa 2260 (1): 771-799, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2260.1.43, URL: https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.2260.1.43
03B22D57FF94FFE1FF790A36FEAE45C9.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Virgammaropsis differs from Gammaropsis Liljeborg, in its poorly recessed head, parallelsided article 3 of mandibular palp and weakly expanded pereopod bases. It resembles Falcigammaropsis Myers, 1995 from Papua New Guinea, in the parallel-sided article 3 of the mandibular palp, and in the form of the male gnathopod 2. It differs from that genus however in lacking an acute epistome, in the unexpanded basis of pereopod 5 (and probably also the unknown pereopods 6 - 7), and in the absence of spines on urosomite 1.	en	Myers, Alan A.
