Abstract

A third species of the genus Discerceis is described and a new generic diagnosis is offered. The distinctions in the new species are seen in morphological characters of the male, specifically the pleotelson, which bears an elongate, deeply set, apically upturned median tooth in the pleotelsonic notch, and in the uropods, which are much longer relative to the pleotelson as compared to its two cogeners. A key to the known species of the genus is given.
