Sexual dimorphism in antennule, P2 endopod, P3 exopod (?), P5, P6 and urosomal segmentation.</p> <p>Antennule with numerous pinnate setae/spines; 7- segmented in both sexes; chirocer in ♂, with aesthetascs on segments 4, 6 and 7. Antenna with distinctly 2-segmented exopod; exp-1 with one seta, exp-2 with 0–1 lateral and two apical setae; lateral endopodal spine proximally displaced. Maxilliped with 1(?) accessory seta on endopod; claw minutely pinnate.</p> <p>P1–P4 enp-1 of normal size and with inner seta. Rami 3-segmented in P1–P4. P1 exp-3 with two outer spines, enp-3 with two inner setae. P3 enp-3 with five setae/spines. P4 enp-2 with one inner seta. Armature formula as follows:</p> <p>Exopod Endopod P1 0.1.122 1.1.221 P2 1.1.222 1.2.221 P3 1.1.222 1.2.221 P4 1.1.122 1.1.221</p> <p>P 2 ♂ enp-2 with outwardly directed spinous apophysis; enp-3 small, anterior surface without transverse spinular comb, outer spine and outer distal seta rudimentary, inner setae well developed.</p> <p>P3 exopod ♂ presumably sexually dimorphic as in Neotachidius and Tachidius.</p> <p>P 5 ♀ slightly bilobate, separating outer lobe from endopodal lobe; outer lobe with basal seta and four exopodal elements (one seta, three spines); endopodal lobe with four pinnate spines. P 5 ♂ medially fused (?); each with four spines and two setae.</p> <p>P 6 ♀ represented by opercula closing off common genital slit, each with one seta. P 6 ♂ symmetrical; each member with two pinnate spines and naked outer basal seta.</p> <p>Free-living. Freshwater or brackish habitats.</p> <p>Type species: Tachidius (Tachidius) vicinospinalis Shen &amp; Tai, 1964 = Sinotachidius vicinospinalis (Shen &amp; Tai, 1964) comb. nov.</p> <p>Species inquirenda: Tachidius discipes Giesbrecht, 1881 sensu Song &amp; Chang (1995).</p> <p>Etymology: The genus name is derived from the type genus Tachidius and the prefix sino, referring to the country of origin of the type species.</p> <p>According to Shen (1979) S. vicinospinalis has been recorded from brackish and freshwater habitats in both Guangdong and Fujian Provinces. Ovigerous females were encountered in April</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/038387C0FF91FFE578A0FDE9FDF575FC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
