Possible species.The following 24 taxa are currently placed in Tryphosella. For each taxon there is insufficient information about the gnathopod 1 coxa and/or the mouthparts to confirm or reject this placement. Although for many of them it is not possible to decide if they are tryphosines or uristids (because the mouthparts have not been described), they are probably mostly tryphosines. T. analogica(K.H.

Barnard, 1932). Excluded species.Fifteen species are excluded:
Tryphosella castellata(K.H. Barnard, 1932): coxa 1 is described as ‘distally widened’ (K.H. Barnard 1932: 53). T. cicadopsis( Schellenberg, 1926): the setal teeth of maxilla 1 outer plate extend well down the face of the plate, indicating a placement in Uristidae( Schellenberg 1926: fig. 22e). T. cucullata( Walker, 1904): coxa 1 is expanded anteroventrally ( Walker 1904: pl. 4, fig. 8). T. erosa( Meinert, 1890): coxa 1 is expanded anteroventrally ( Meinert 1890: fig. 25). T. gracilipes( Stephensen, 1925): coxa 1 is "rather broad, expanded toward the apex" ( Stephensen 1925: 115). T. intermedia( Schellenberg, 1926): coxa 1 is not shortened or tapered ( Schellenberg 1926: 270, fig. 17d). T. laevis( Bonnier, 1896): coxa 1 is not shortened or tapered; maxilla 2 inner plate is much shorter than outer plate; molar appears to be a setose tongue ( Bonnier 1896: pl. 35 fig. 5). This species belongs in the family Uristidae. T. murrayi( Walker, 1903): based on examination of specimens in the Australian Museum collection (AM P.3190)
this taxon has maxilla 1 outer plate setal teeth in a 7/4 crown arrangement and maxilla 2 inner plate much shorter than the outer plate so belongs in the family Uristidaeand the genus Uristesas Hurley (1965)indi- cated.
T. paramoi( Schellenberg, 1931): coxa 1 is not shortened or tapered; maxilla 2 inner plate is much shorter than the outer plate ( Schellenberg 1931: figs 20, 21). This species belongs in the family Uristidae. T. schellenbergi Lowry & Bullock, 1976: coxa 1 is not shortened or tapered; the setal teeth of maxilla 1 outer plate extend well down the face of the plate, indicating a placement in Uristidae( Schellenberg 1931: fig. 19, as Tmetonyx serratus). T. trigonica( Stebbing, 1888): the setal teeth of maxilla 1 outer plate extend well down the face of the plate and maxilla 2 inner plate is much shorter than the outer plate, indicating a placement in Uristidae( Stebbing 1888: pl. 9). T. trionyx( Stephensen, 1925): coxa 1 is "apically somewhat expanded" ( Stephensen 1925: 115). T. triplans(J.L. Barnard, 1962): coxa 1 is nearly as long as coxa 2 and very slightly tapered (J.L. Barnard, 1962: fig. 18). T. tuberculimana( Lagardère, 1968): coxa 1 is nearly as long as coxa 2 and only slightly tapered, gnathopod 1 carpus and propodus not like that of Tryphosella( Lagardère 1968: pls 1, 2). T. uristesi Bellan-Santini, 1997: coxa 1 is as large as coxa 2 and not tapering; maxilla 2 inner plate is much shorter than the outer plate ( Bellan-Santini 1997: fig. 11). This species belongs in the family Uristidae.
Remarks. Stebbing (1906)synonymised Pseudotryphosa Sars, 1891with Uristes Dana, 1849. Barnard & Karaman (1991)maintained Pseudotryphosaas a junior synonym of Uristesand it has remained that way until now. But the arrangement of the maxilla 1 setal-teeth, the relative lengths of the maxilla 2 plates and the strongly triturating mandibular molar are more similar to those of a tryphosine. The shortened, tapering first coxa puts Pseudotryphosain the genus Tryphosella.We here transfer P. umbonata( Sars, 1883)to Tryphosellaand regard Pseudotryphosaas a synonym of Tryphosella. See Appendix 1 for an explanation of the reversal of precedence for these two names. Three tryphosine genera ( Cedrosella Barnard & Karaman, 1987, ThrombasiaJ.L. Barnard, 1966and Tryphosella) have molars with an asymmetrically reduced triturating column and a reduced, tapering gnathopod 1 coxae. Cedroselladiffers from the other two genera, in among other things, the accessory flagellum which forms a cap and the weakly developed posteroventral lobe of the pereopod 4 coxa. Thrombasiaand Tryphosellaare very similar. They only differ in the mandibular palp which is attached distally in Thrombasiaand midway in Tryphosella; in the maxilla 1 ST7 which is cuspidate distally in Thrombasiaand cuspidate along most of the sinsusoidal inner margin in Tryphosella; and in the telson which is moderately cleft in Thrombasiaand deeply cleft in Tryphosella. Currently Thrombasiais in synonymy with Schisturella Norman, 1900(see Barnard & Karaman 1991: 526). We see no justification for this synonymy and re-establish the genus. Tryphosellais a world-wide genus which often dominates scavenging guilds ( Lowry & Stoddart 1983; Lowry & Stoddart 1995; Lowry & Smith 2003; De Broyer et al. 2004). There are a number of distinctive characters, particularly in the Indo-West Pacific area, which are useful in recognising species groups. However, when a wider range of characters are considered, these "groups" are not mutually exclusive. 1. Species in which coxa 1 is small (length 1–1.4 x breadth) and subtriangular: T. ama, T. astrolabensis, T. betka, T. bicheno, T. fortescue, T. freycinet, T. martrudan, T. orana, T. rodondo, T. seasana, T. sorell, T. tathra, T. toowoomba. 2. Species with a long ischium on gnathopod 1: T. ama, T. astrolabensis, T. bicheno, T. seasana, T. wongada. 3. Species with robust setae on the callynophore and proximal articles of antenna 1: T. astrolabensis, T. bet, T. bicheno, T. chinchilla, T. cooee, T. wongada. 4. Species in which the basis of gnathopod 1 is densely setose: T. chinchilla, T. cooee, T. rodondo. 5. Species in which the male gnathopod 1 is simple (as opposed to subchelate): T. betka, T. martrudan, T. toowoomba, T. wangaratta. 6. Species in which some or all of the robust setae on the outer rami of uropods 1 and 2 are stout and striated: T. fortescue, T. freycinet, T. orana, T. sorell, T. tathra, T. tuckanarra. 7. Species in which the antenna 2 of the mature male is short (about as long as antenna 2, as opposed to the elongate antenna 2 of many mature lysianassoid males): T. betka, T. chinchilla, T. martrudan, T. wongada. 8. Species in which the proximal calceolus of male antenna 1 is very large compared to the subsequent calceoli: T. camela, T. fortescue, T. sorell.
