( Fig. 17 View FIGURE 17 )

Gippsia Lowry & Stoddart 1995a: 21 View in CoL View Cited Treatment .— Lowry & Stoddart 2003: 282 (catalogue).

Type species. Gippsia jonesae Lowry & Stoddart, 1995 View in CoL , original designation.

Included species. Gippsia View in CoL includes 1 species: G. jonesae Lowry & Stoddart, 1995 View in CoL .

Diagnostic description. Antenna 1 peduncle article 1 without anterodistal lobe; accessory flagellum with an elongate article 1 (at least twice as long as article 2) partially covering callynophore. Antenna 2 without brush setae. Mandible molar setose with reduced triturating surface. Maxilla 1 outer plate a well developed 7/4 crown. Maxilla 2 inner plate longer than outer plate. Gnathopod 1 weakly subchelate; coxa 1 large, subrectangular with concave anterior margin; ischium short (length less than 2 × breadth); carpus short (length 1 to 2 × breadth); propodus margins tapering distally. Uropod 2 inner ramus not constricted. Telson entire .

Remarks. Based on the simple to weakly subchelate gnathopod 1 (a very weak palm occurs in Gippsia ) and the entire telson Gippsia is similar to Nagada and Paralibrotus . Gippsia differs from all uristid genera except Ventiella , in having the inner plate of maxilla 2 longer than the outer plate.

Distribution. Australia. Southeastern Australia.
