Abstract

Phylogenetic parsimony analysis forms a basis for classification of the Siegenian-Eifelian "Malvinella group', a monophyletic taxon within the "Metacryphaeus group' of the family Calmoniidae. Fifty-one exoskeletal characters for Metacryphaeus Reed and 12 taxa of the "Malvinella group' yield a shortest length cladogram with a consistency index of 0.51. A classification based on retrieving the structure of this cladogram recognizes six genera: Malvinella Wolfart, Vogesina Wolfart, Palpebrops n. gen. (type P. donegalensis n. sp.), the sister taxa Parabouleia Eldredge and Bouleia Kozlowski, and Plesiomalvinella n. gen. [type P. pujravii (Wolfart)]
