description: <i>Coullia</i> Hamond, 1 973 <b>Amended diagnosis.</b> Laophontidae. Body fusiform. Integument of cephalothorax and body somites usually with minute spinules; posterior margins of somites spinulose. Rostrum partially delimited at base; broadly rounded, not prominent. Genital doublesomite &amp;female; with ventrolateral internal chitinous ribs marking original segmentation. Pleural extensions of &amp;female; abdominal somites small. Caudal ramus cylindrical, subrectangular and elongate; with 7 setae; setae IV and V well developed, fused at base, and with fracture plane; seta VI reduced, setiform. Anal operculum spinulose. Sexual dimorphism in antennule, P2–P3 exopod, P3 endopod, P5, P6 and in genital segmentation. Occasionally in P4 exopod. Antennule moderately slender and 6- or 7-segmented in &amp;female;; 7-segmented and subchirocer with 2 segments distal to geniculation in ♁; segment 1 occasionally with small blunt process; with aesthetasc on segment 4 (&amp;female;) or 5 (♁) and as part of acrothek on apical segment; all segments usually with spinular ornamentation along posterior margin. Antenna with 4 setae on exopod; allobasis with abexopodal seta. Mandibular palp relatively short, 1-segmented; with 1 basal, 1 exopodal and 3 endopodal setae. Maxillule with defined exopod bearing 2 setae. Maxilla with 3 endites on syncoxa; endopod represented by 3 setae. Maxilliped elongate; syncoxa with 2 setae; basis usually with few spinules along palmar and outer margins; endopodal claw long and curved, with 1 accessory seta. P1 long, with very elongate coxa and basis; with 2-segmented exopod, exp-2 with 2–3 short and 2 geniculate setae; endopod stout, enp-1 without inner seta, enp-2 with minute seta and long strong claw. Swimming leg exopods 3-segmented; without inner setae in &amp;female; (except P2 exp- 2 in <i>C. tongariki</i>); inner apical element of distal exopod segment vestigial (except P 4 &amp;female; in <i>C. insularis / tongariki</i>). P2–P3 exopodal spines smooth or with minute ornamentation. P4 exopod smallest and squat; spines clearly pinnate. P2– P3 exp-2 (where known) with inner seta in ♁. P2–P4 endopods 1- or 2-segmented, occasionally absent in P2. P2 endopod smaller than those of P3–P4; if 2-segmented, inner distal corner of P2 enp-1 usually drawn out into tube-pore. P3 endopod ♁ 2-segmented with enp-2 extending into sharp, curved apophysis. Armature formula as follows: [table omitted] P 5 &amp;female; large, with separate rami; exopod elongate-oval, reaching far beyond endopodal lobe, with 6 setae; endopodal lobe moderately developed, with 3–5 setae. Fifth pair of legs in ♁ not fused medially; baseoendopod free at base; endopodal lobe minute, with 2 long setae; exopod longer than wide, with 5 setae. P 6 &amp;female; forming opercula closing off paired genital apertures, with 2 setae; P6 ♁ asymmetrical; membranous flaps with 2 setae. Copepodids IV–V with modified P 4 in &amp;female; (cf. Fiers 1998). Marine; frequently on algae or decapods (Xanthidae, Majidae). <b>Type species.</b> <i>Coullia heteropus</i> Hamond, 1973 [by original designation]. <b>Other species.</b> <i>Laophonte?</i> <i>platychelipusoides</i> Noodt, 1958 = <i>C. platychelipusoides</i> (Noodt, 1958); <i>Hemilaophonte clysmae</i> Por &amp; Marcus, 1973 = <i>C. clysmae</i> (Por &amp; Marcus, 1973); <i>Phycolaophonte insularis</i> Pallares, 1975 = <i>C. insularis</i> (Pallares, 1975) comb. nov.; <i>Eolaophonte mediterranea</i> Apostolov, 1990 = <i>C. mediterranea</i> (Apostolov, 1990) comb. nov.; <i>Phycolaophonte tongariki</i> Gómez &amp; Boyko, 2006 = <i>C. tongariki</i> (Gómez &amp; Boyko, 2006) comb. nov.
