Family Parastenheliidae
Parastenhelia: Song, Kim & Chang (2003) provide a synopsis of the genus.
Karllangia: This genus is rare among Harpacticoida in displaying sexual dimorphism in the antenna exopod. Not all species have this characteristic (it is absent in K. arenicola and K. tertia ). Mielke (1994b) believes it to be an autapomorphy of the group that possess it and that the failure to recognise this has confused the taxonomy at the species level. This key follows Mielke’s scheme.
