Pseudamaryllis Andres View in CoL

Pseudamaryllis Andres, 1981: 464 View in CoL .–Barnard & Karaman, 1991: 521.–Lowry & Stoddart, 1993: 98.

Amaryllis View in CoL .– Ledoyer, 1986: 717 (in part).

Paravijaya Ren, 1998: 156 View in CoL , 162.

Diagnosis. Head with rostrum anteriorly rounded or absent; eye reniform. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 not ball-shaped proximally; peduncular article 2 medium length; callynophore present in female and male. Antenna 2 flagellum about as long as that of antenna 1 in female and male. Mandible palp article 3 with or without proximal A3-seta. Pereopod 4 coxa with anterior and posterior margins subparallel. Uropod 3 rami without plumose setae in male and female; outer ramus 1-articulate.

Type species. Pseudamaryllis nonconstricta Andres, 1981 View in CoL , by original designation.

Species composition. Pseudamaryllis View in CoL contains two species: P. andresi Lowry & Stoddart, 1993 View in CoL and P. nonconstricta Andres, 1981 View in CoL .

Remarks. Ren (1998) established the genus Paravijaya , which he compared to and distinguished from the genera Amaryllis , Pseudamaryllis and Vijaya . Paravijaya was distinguished from Pseudamaryllis by: the labrum and epistome being coalesced, peduncular article 1 of antenna 1 being longer than other articles, and inner ramus of uropod 2 with a small notch. Ren was apparently unaware of the publication by Lowry & Stoddart (1993), which established a new species of Pseudamaryllis and slightly expanded the generic diagnosis. Paravijaya is a synonym of Pseudamaryllis and Pa. apiculata Ren, 1998 , is the same species described by Lowry & Stoddart (1993) as Ps. andresi .

Pseudamaryllis is the only amaryllidid genus with the combination of a callynophore in the female and robust setae on the propodus of gnathopod 1.

Distribution. Western Indian Ocean, Red Sea and South China Sea; 90–1544 m depth (see Fig. 76).
