Diagnosis Posterior part of cephalothorax and lateral borders of peraeonites rounded; A.1 &-segmented; A.2 6-segmented; mandibles with reduced pars molaris, crushing area rep- resented by one long and several small teeth; Mx.1 with eight terminal spines; second seg- ment of maxillipedal palpus with one inner spine and two long inner setae; P.l-P.3 with meral and carpal spines; merus distinctly longer than broad; dactylus and tercinal spine of P.4-P.6 distinct, not fused to a claw; pleopods present, exopodite with plumose seta distally; Uro "pseudobiramous," exopodite fused with basis and represented by a well- developed projection, endopodite ?.-segmented with segments partly fused.
Mouthparts shifted anteriorly, forming a cone; articulation area of Che also shifted anteriorly; posterior ventral third of cephalothorax closed, forming a capsule, excurrent opening lying ventrally in posterolateral corners; marsupium formed by four pairs of oostegites; male unknown.

Spelling Arhaphuroides is the correct spelling. Even Sieg spelled the genus differently in subsequent pubs. Other workers have also used the incorrect Arhaphuroides spelling [details]
