Type species. Amphitoe puchella Krøyer, 1845 .

Diagnosis (from Hendrycks & Bousfield 2004 with additions). Body usually dorsally carinate or mucronate. Urosome 2 occluded or not dorsally. Rostrum medium, extending beyond head lobe, less often short. Antenna 1, peduncular segment 1 not produced anterodistally.
Lower lip usually broad, shallow. Mandibular molar reduced, non-triturative; left lacinia multidentate, right lacinia lacking; raker setae normal, slender; palp large. Maxilla 1, outer plate with 9 apical strong pectinate setae (spine-like setae), inner plate with 1–2 setae. Maxilla 2, inner plate with 1–2 inner margin stout setae. Maxilliped plates short; palp slender (less often medium wide), segment 3 variously produced distally; dactylus slender, pectinate.
Coxal plates 1–4 medium, deepening gradually posteriorly; coxal plates variously with posterodistal cusps; coxal plate 1 not markedly bent forwards; coxal plates 5 and 6 posterolobate. Coxal gills medium, sac-like, lacking on pereopod 7.
Pereopods 1 and 2 (gnathopods) typically subsimilar, weak to srong, or unlike and slightly sexually dimorphic, often powerfully subchelate; propodal palms with triangular median tooth; meral posterodistal tooth lacking or not; carpus usually elongate (less often short), lobe shallow (less often deep).
Pereopods 5–7 subequal in size and form. Epimeral plates 2 and 3 variable, hind corner usually produced. Uropod 1 with distolateral peduncular spine-like seta. Telson keeled proximally, apex rounded.
Distribution. Marine waters of arctic and boreal parts of Northern hemisphere.
Remarks. Subfamily Neopleustinae is closed to Parapleustinae Bousfield & Hendrycks, 1994 but differs in its well developed, often keeled, rostrum, dorsal body processes, large mandibular palp, unspecialized mandibles raker setae; processiferous palp segment 3 of maxilliped, multicuspate coxal plates 1–3, by produced posterior corner of epimeral plates 1 & 3, and midventrally keeled telson ( Bousfield & Hendrycks, 1994, 1995; Hendrycks & Bousfield, 2004).
New genus Hendrycksopleustes has a number of features that bring it closer to the Parapleustinae subfamily: short rostrum, palp medium width, size and shape of pereopods 1 & 2 (gnathopods 1 & 2). Such features as developed dorsal carination, large palp of mandible, form of coxal plate 1, multicuspate coxal plates 1–3, and especially processed hind corner of epimeral plates 2 & 3, make it possible to attribute this genus to the subfamily Neopleustinae . Thus, the genus Hendrycksopleustes gen. nov. occupies an intermediate position between the subfamilies Neopleustinae and Parapleustinae , and tentatively placed as an aberrant form within the Neopleustinae that may be transitional to the Parapleustinae .
