Chirocephalus baikalensis ( Naganawa & Orgiljanova, 2000) , new combination

The family Chirocephalidae was originally described by Daday (1910) to include Chirocephalus Daday, 1910 , Eubranchipus Verrill, 1869 , and three genera now included in the Thamnocephalidae Packard, 1883 . Linder (1941) redefined the family to include Chirocephalus , Eubranchipus , Branchinectella Daday, 1910 , Artemiopsis Sars, 1897 , and Linderiella (as Pristicephalus ) Brtek, 1966.

Brtek (1966) divided the genus Eubranchipus into several subgenera based upon various characters. The validity of these subgenera needs to be re­evaluated. Brtek’s subgenus Creaseria , however, is a preoccupied name ( ICZN, 2000), having been originally used by Holthuis in 1950 to name a South American genus of fresh­water Palaemonid shrimps. Brtek (1966, 1967) defined this Eubranchipus sub­genus to include: Eubranchipus oregonus Creaser, 1930 ; E. neglectus Garman, 1926 ; E. holmani (Ryder, 1879) , and; E. moorei Brtek, 1967 .

Brtek (1964, 1965, 1966) erected the family Linderiellidae to encompass Linderiella and Dexteria Brtek, 1965 , and the family Artemiopsidae Brtek, 1966 for Artemiopsis , which were later subsumed back into the Chirocephalidae by Belk (in Martin & Davis, 2001) and (with the Polyartemiidae ) Weekers et al. (2002). The family is redefined here.
