Diagnosis: Rostrum with 4–12 dorsal spines. Hepatic spine and cervical carina present. Posterior region of abdominal somite 3 and abdominal somites 4–6 carinated, ending in small spines. Thelycum open, with a shield-like mesial protuberance, sternite XIII with a rounded protuberance. Petasma with some small sulci in dorsal and ventral view, divergent tips; distal extremity of ventral costa slightly curved outward. Appendix interna rounded, with some cuspidate setae on distal extremity. Appendix masculina smaller than appendix interna, nearly digitiform, with a sulcus along almost its extension.

Genus Aristaeopsis Wood-Mason, 1891
Integument glabrous. Rostrum moderately elongate in females and juvenile males, recahing beyond apex of scaphocerite; somewhat shorter in adult males, not reaching third of antennular peduncle segment, bearing two basal spines followed by single postrostral spine. Carapace with antennal and branchiostegal strong carina; orbital, postantennal, and hepatic spines absent. Cervical sulcus ventrally deep, rather weak dorsally, almost reaching dorsal midline; postcervical sulcus absent; postrostral carina reaching posteriorly about threefourths length of carapace; gastro-orbital, hepatic, and branchiocardiac carina strong. Eye with cornea slightly flattened; calathus moderately short, with strong mesial tubercle distally. Dorsal antennular flagellum short, flattened; ventral antennular flagellum elongate, terete, not modified in adult male. Scaphocerite in adult female with blade apically acute-angled, lateral marginal ridge ending in short spine at about four-fifths length; in adult male, lamella of scaphocerite produced distally into elongate slender structure, ovate in crosssection, subequal in length to proximal broad part; in female, lateral ridge falling short of distal margin of lamella.
Pereopods lacking exopods; merus and ischium of first and second pereopods unarmed. Fourth and fifth pereopods more slender, especially distally, than preceding pereopods. Thelycum open, with cup-like hollow formed by anteriorly acute median protuberance on sternite XII and strongly raised, roughly rectangular, anteriorly rounded median prominence flanked anteriorly by strong rounded lateral flaps on sternite XIII.
Petasma with lateral lobule reaching as far as median lobe; ventral costa slightly overreaching distal margin of lateral lobule, attached along entire length to adjacent flexible part of lateral lobule; its tip becoming mesially-directed conspicuous hook. First abdominal somite dorsally rounded; second somite with barely discernible rounded middorsal carina in posterior half; third to sixth somites with sharp carina, ending posteriorly in short spine. Telson pointed, with four pairs of small lateral movable spines in posterior half (modified from Pérez Farfante & Kensley, 1997).
