Diagnosis. Modified after Guţu (2006)

Body elongate, dorso–ventrally flattened. Carapace relatively short. Ocular lobes present or absent, with or without visual elements. Pereon with six free pereonites. Pleon with five pleonites and pleotelson. Antennule with inner flagellum reduced or not. Antenna with four or five–articulated peduncle; squama present. Mandibular palp uniarticulated (with or without numerous and long plumose setae) or three–articulated. Maxillule without palp. Caudo–distal seta of the maxillipedal endite normal (not leaf–shaped spine). Cheliped with or without numerous long plumose setae on the carpus and propodus; exopodite present or absent. Pereopod 1 with or without exopodite; dactylus with unguis (with or without setae), or without unguis but with numerous acicular hairs (brush– like). Pereopods 2–5 with normal or modified dactylus, having either long seta and normal unguis or without setae and very thin and long unguis. Pereopod 6 with disk–shaped propodus. Four or five pairs of oostegites. Pleopods biramous, in five pairs. Uropods with two rami. Sexual dimorphism very accentuated on level of chelipeds except in most species of Mesokalliapseudes .
