Abstract
The genus
Epileucon
Jones, 1956 is redefined on the basis of carapace, pereon and appendage characters. The following species are transferred to
Epileucon
from the genus
Leucon
Kröyer, 1846:
E. spiniventris
(Hansen, 1920),
E. longirostris
(G. O. Sars, 1871),
E. tenuirostris
(G. O. Sars, 1887),
E. latispina
(Jones, 1963) and
E. bengalensis
(Lomakina, 1967). A lectotype is selected for
E. spiniventris
. Known Atlantic and Mediterranean species are redescribed, and five new species,
E. ensis, E. pusillus, E. craterus, E. socius
and
E. acclivis
, are described. Keys to males and females of the Atlantic and Mediterranean species are provided. The geographical distribution of the group is discussed. The genus is known in deep water (> 200 m) in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans and in the Mediterranean Sea, and also on the continental shelf (at around 100 m depth) off New Zealand.
