Platorchestia Bousfield, 1982 View in CoL
Platorchestia Bousfield, 1982: 26 View in CoL .— Jo, 1988: 160.— Richardson, 1991: 186.— Morino & Ortal, 1995: 825.— Miyamoto & Morino, 2004: 68.
Remarks. Miyamoto & Morino (2004) established three groups within Platorchestia based on the presence or absence of sexually dimorphic characters. Platorchestia (group 2) is based on a sexually dimorphic incrassate second antenna and no sexual dimorphism in pereopods 6 or 7 and contains P. ano sp. nov.; P. ashmoleorum Stock, 1996 ; P. monodi ( Mateus, Mateus & Afonso, 1986) ; and P. s m i t h i Lowry, 2012. The possibility remains that within Platorchestia (group 2) mature males with sexually dimorphic pereopods 6–7 exist but have never been collected, in which case any group 2 species would become a group 1.
