Anuropus is a genus of isopods in the suborder Cymothoida. (As of 2021), it is the only genus in the family Anuropidae.[2]
Taxonomic history
The genus Anuropus was first circumscribed by the English zoologist Frank Evers Beddard in 1886. His new genus coincided with his description of the type species, A. branchiatus.[3][1] Beddard placed Anuropus in the family Cymothoidae, but in 1893, Thomas Roscoe Rede Stebbing wrote it "may have greater claims to be the type of a distinct family, Anuropidæ".[4] In 1903, Hans Jacob Hansen thought Anuropus might possibly belong to the subfamily Cirolaninae or perhaps a new subfamily Anuropinae.[5]
