PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 95(1), 1982, pp. 167-187 CLASSIFICATORY REVISIONS IN GAMMARIDEAN AMPHIPODA (CRUSTACEA), PART 2 J. Laurens Barnard and Gordan S. Karaman Abstract. — The new family Paracalliopidae is established and the family Pseud-amphilochidae is recognized from provisional proposal. New genera are described as follows: Relictomoera for Paramoera relicta and Sternomoera for P. yezoensis and P. Japonica; Nasageneia for Pontogeneia nasa; Aurohornellia for Tulearogammarus sinuatus; Lupimaera for Maera lu-pana; Tegano for Melita seticornis; Maleriopa for Eriopisella dentifera; Texi-weckeliopsis for Texiweckelia insolita ; Holsingerius for T. samacos ; Indocalliope for Paracalliope indica ; Feriharpinia for Harpinia ferenteria ; Torridoharpinia for Proharpinia hurley i. New synonymies are provided for Afrochiltonia {=Austrochiltonia), Cerado-copsis {=Maeracunha) , Hornellia {=Metaceradocus). Echiuropus is raised to full generic level. New lists of species are provided for Pseudomoera, Paracalliope and Proharpinia. More "armchair" revisions in Amphipoda must be presented before we can issue our forthcoming "The Families and Genera of Gammaridean Amphipoda," a sequel to that done by J. L. Barnard (1969b). This time, freshwater taxa will be included with the marine in the same treatise. Our first part is cited as Karaman and Barnard (1979). Ceinidae Afrochiltonia K. H. Barnard, new synonymy Afrochiltonia K. H. Barnard, 1955:93 (Chiltonia capensis K. H. Barnard, 1916, original designation). Austrochiltonia Hurley, 1958:767 (Hyalella australis Sayce, 1901, original des-ignation). Griffiths (1976) made a case for synonymizing these two genera but mistakenly assumed Austrochiltonia took priority. It does not and therefore the situation should appear as shown above. Eusiridae Pseudomoera Schellenberg, revised Pseudomoera Schellenberg, 1929:281 {Atyloides gabrieli Sayce, 1901, monotypy). Until now this genus has been monotypic but we transfer into this genus Aty-loides fontana Sayce (1902) which for years has been placed in Paramoera. The type-species is characterized by the loss of medial setae on the inner plate of maxilla 1 whereas P. fontana has full setal armament on that plate like Para-moera. However, Pseudomoera can now be distinguished from Paramoera on the presence of geniculate lobes on the wrists of the gnathopods and this action
