Abstract

Cleantis annandalei Tattersall, 1921 has been included in Cleantioides Kensley & Kaufman, 1978 but was considered an aberrant representative of this genus. Here a new genus, Chongxidotea, is proposed to accommodate this species. Chongxidotea differs from all other holognathids in having a tapering body in dorsal view, both anteriorly and posteriorly, and in having a pleotelson tapering dorsoventrally and laterally to a narrow, notched apex. Pereopods 5-7 of Chongxidotea have more slender and also longer dactyli than other known holognathids.
