Genus Iphinoe Bate, 1856 View in CoL
Type species: Iphinoe trispinosa ( Goodsir, 1843) View in CoL
Diagnosis. Five pedigerous somites visible, the first short. Pereopod 2 6-articulated. Uropod endopod 2- articulated.
Remarks. At present, the combination of these morphological characters, in Day’s diagnosis (1978), except for “ uropod rami shorter than peduncle” (subequal in a Iphinoe crassipes specimen ibid), is enough for the identification of the genus in the subfamily Bodotriinae . Thereafter, Haye (2007) described rather more detailed morphological characters of the genus but showed that each character exhibits considerable variation between species. Therefore, it is difficult to include other characters in the diagnosis above.
