Stephonyx View in CoL includes 13 species: S. arabiensis Diffenthal & Horton, 2007 View in CoL ; S. biscayensis ( Chevreux, 1908) View in CoL ; S. carinatus Bellan-Santini, 1997 View in CoL ; S. incertus Bellan-Santini, 1997 View in CoL ; S. mytilus ( Barnard & Ingram, 1990) View in CoL ; S. laqueus (J.L. Barnard, 1967) View in CoL ; S. normani ( Stebbing, 1888) View in CoL ; S. perexcavatus Narahara, Tomikawa & Torigoe, 2012 View in CoL ; S. pirloti ( Sheard, 1938) View in CoL ; S. rafaeli View in CoL sp. nov.; S. scutatus ( Griffiths, 1977) View in CoL ; S. talismani ( Chevreux, 1919) View in CoL ; S. uncinatus Senna & Serejo, 2007 View in CoL .
Diagnostic description. Antenna 1 peduncle article 1 without anterodistal lobe; accessory flagellum not forming cap covering callynophore. Antenna 2 with weakly developed brush setae. Mandible molar a setose tongue with vestigial triturating area, a reduced column with a triturating surface or occasionally a raised weakly setose plate. Maxilla 1 outer plate a well developed 7/4 crown. Maxilla 2 inner plate slightly shorter than outer plate. Gnathopod 1 chelate; coxa 1 reduced, significantly shorter than coxa 2, subquadrate or tapering distally; ischium long (length 2 × to 4 × breadth) to very long (length 4 × to 6 × breadth); carpus very long (length more than 4 × breadth); propodus margins subparallel. Uropod 2 inner ramus not constricted. Telson deeply cleft .
Remarks. Only three uristid genera, Euonyx , Kyska and Stephonyx have chelate first gnathopods. Kyska differs from Euonyx and Stephonyx in having a fully developed gnathopod 1 coxa (significantly reduced in Euonyx and Stephonyx ). Stephonyx is a genus of scavengers with fully developed 7/4 crown of setal-teeth on the outer plate of maxilla 1 whereas Euonyx is a genus of ectoparasitic amphipod with strongly reduced (small) setal-teeth on the outer plate of maxilla 1.
