“…The family Lepechinellidae Schellenberg, 1926 is typified by elongate, slender pereopods and uropods with a body cuticle covered in long setae, and the placement of this taxa at family level was recently covered by Thurston & Horton (2019). There are currently five genera of Lepechinellidae (Horton et al, 2018), three of which (Lepechinella Stebbing, 1908;Lepechinelloides Thurston, 1980;Lepesubchela Johansen & Vader, 2015) have been reported in the North Atlantic (Thurston, 1980;Palerud & Vader, 1991;Johansen & Vader, 2015;Brix et al, 2018). The two remaining genera, Lepechinellopsis Ledoyer, 1982 andParalephechinella Pirlot, 1933, are known from Madagascar and from the Equator to the Antarctic, respectively (Pirlot, 1934;Andres & Brandt, 2001).…”
