“…str.). It lacks, however, the hemispherical dome just anterior to the pleotelsonic notch which is listed by Bruce (1997) as a possible apomorphy for Cymodoce s. str. The pereopods are also similar to the type species with regards to setation.…”

“…, 2003 and Kussakin & Malyutina (1993) all argued that the principal defining pleopod characters for the subfamilies were homoplasious, overwhelmingly so for the supposed Cassidininae, and the use of these subfamilies was abandoned, as was the use of dorsal processes to define genera (Bruce 1997;Li 2000;Bruce & Holdich 2002). Nonetheless, Wägele (1989) and Bruce (1995Bruce ( , 1997Bruce ( , 2003 perceived that there were recognizable and potentially definable groups of genera within the family. These groups of genera, such as the informal 'Ischyromene group' (Bruce 1995) and tribe 'Monolistrini' (Racovitza 1910;Sket 1964Sket , 1986) have in some cases been used.…”

Based on 18S-rDNA sequences of 97 isopods including 18 Sphaeromatidea, we show Sphaeromatidae, Valvifera, Serolidae, and Ancinidae is a well supported clade. The within clade relationships of these taxa are not as definitively demonstrated because taxon sampling for some groups is still limited. In our analyses the Sphaeromatidae are shown to be unequivocally monophyletic. This is contrary to the morphology-based analysis by A. Brandt and G. Poore in 2003, which included only five Sphaeromatidae and found the family to be paraphyletic. The Ancinidae are also upheld, and the Valvifera is the sister taxon to Serolidae. Surprisingly Plakarthrium (Plakarthiidae) is nested within the Sphaeromatidae in most analyses. We point out short-comings in our sampling and suggest areas which would benefit from better sampling. We also review the long and convoluted nomenclatural history of the Sphaeromatidea, Sphaeromatoidea, and Sphaeromatidae.

“…These genera in the broadest sense include the Indo-Pacifi c species of Cymodoce Leach, 1814 (see Harrison and Holdich 1984;Bruce 1997, generic remarks), Oxinasphaera Bruce, 1997 andKoremasphaera Bruce, 2003. In Cymodoce the uropodal exopod is fl attened and comparatively larger than the other genera mentioned; in Koremasphaera the trilobate pleotelson is scarcely evident.…”

Pooredoce garyi gen. nov., sp. nov., is described from Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The genus is related to the group of sphaeromatid genera characterised by having long 'fi nger-like' extensions to the articles of the maxilliped palp, stout robust setae on the inferior margins of pereopods 1-3 and the uropodal endopod round in section, with the exopod about half as long as the endopod; similar genera are Cymodoce Leach, 1814 (Indo-Pacifi c species), Koremasphaera Bruce, 2003 and Oxinasphaera Bruce, 1997. Pooredoce gen. nov. is characterized by the adult male having a dorsally recessed dorsum to the pleotelson, the posterior margin of which has three enclosed foramens, two visible dorsally, the third visible only from the interior of the posterior margin, the two foramens are formed by the pleotelson posterolateral and median margin lobes coming into contact posteriorly; and the posterior margin of the pleon forms an irregular posteriorly directed ridge. Pooredoce garyi was collected from the reef crest and is known from the type locality, Lizard Island and at Hicks Reef.
