Abstract:
The monotypic genus Eclysis K.H. Barnard, 1932
and its type species, E. similis Barnard, are redescribed based upon a
newly discovered second specimen. The genus Bathypanoploea Schellenberg,
1939 is reviewed; B. schellenbergi Holman & Watling, 1983 is fixed
as the type species. Bathypanoploea polarsterni n. sp. is described;
Alexandrella pulchra Ren in Ren & Huang, 1991 is a new junior
synonym of B. schellenbergi. The morphology of Eclysis and
Bathypanoploea is examined, as well as their relationships to the
Astyridae and Stilipedidae.
