Key to the genera of the family MIMONECTIDAE View in CoL

1. Antennae 1 with two very large aesthetascs distally on callynophore and distal articles. Callynophore very short, sub-equal in length to peduncle........................................................ Cheloscina Shih & Hendrycks, 1996 View in CoL

- Antennae 1 without enormous aesthetascs, if present usually numerous and of similar size. Callynophore stout, very elongate, many times longer than peduncle......................................................................... 2

2. Mandibles without palp. Antennae 1, peduncle two-articulate. Pereopod 7, dactyl small, straight, or slightly curved, rarely large or falcate.................................................................. Mimonectes Bovallius, 1885 View in CoL

- Mandibles with rudimentary one-articulate palp. Antennae 1, peduncle three-articulate. Pereopod 7, dactyl large, falcate............................................................................ Pseudomimonectes Vinogradov, 1960 View in CoL
