Taxonomic remark Remarks. Eubrachiella sublobulata was originally described from specimens collected from the gill filaments of C. torvus off Table Bay. However, due to incomplete information about the structure and armature of the appendages it was tentatively transferred to the genus Neobrachiella (Ho & Takeuch 1996). Piasecki et al. (2010) transferred all Neobrachiella species to Parabrachiella and thus N. sublobulata became Parabrachiella sublobulata. A thorough re-examination of the original material revealed that even though the majority of morphological characteristics of the appendages of both males and females are almost identical to species of the genus Parabrachiella, they differed from Parabrachiella species by the presence of numerous, unequal protuberances (vestiges of posterior processes) present posteriorly on the female trunk instead of well-developed posterior processes as in Parabrachiella. Additionally, the transverse constriction separating the male posterior genito-abdominal complex from the cephalothorax and the anteriorly flexed posterior extremity that points forward is also different from those in Parabrachiella species. Thus, this species should remain a member of the genus Eubrachiella. [details]
