Treatment

Genus Renocila Miers, 1880

Renocila Miers, 1880: 464 .—Gerstaecker, 1882: 232.— Schiöedte & Meinert, 1884: 415.—Stebbing, 900: 610.— Barnard, 1936: 160.— Bowman & Mariscal, 1968: 100.— Brusca, 1981: 46.— Bruce, 1987c: 169–170.

Rosca Schiöedte & Meinert, 1881: 85 .—Stebbing, 1924: 10.

Type species. Renocila ovata Miers, 1880 , by monotypy.

Diagnosis. A detailed diagnosis was given by Bruce (1987c).

Remarks. Characters that separate Renocila from related body surface infesting cymothoids genera are: antennula longer and more robust than antenna; rostrum not projecting between antennulas; pleonites 1 and 2 with ventrolateral margins not produced; posterolateral margins of pereonites 6 and 7 produced; uropods held concealed beneath pleotelson. In addition, Renocila are wider than most Anilocra , although at least two species of Anilocra ( Anilocra amboinensis Schiöedte & Meinert, 1881 and Anilocra pomacentri Bruce, 1987 ) approach the shape shown by Renocila .
