Alienigena Cheng, Ho & Dai, 2016, gen. nov.
Alienigena gen. nov. Diagnosis. Body elongate and slender. Segmentation of body indistinct. Cephalosome triangular, with prominent posterolateral expansions in dorsal view. Urosome 4-segmented in female and 5-segmented in male. Caudal ramus with six setae. Antennule 7-segmented. Antenna 4-segmented; third segment with three setae; fourth segment tipped with one well developed terminal claw. Mandible weakly bilobate along inner margin and with large process on convex side. Maxillule with four setae. Maxilla 2-segmented; second segment terminating in distal lash. Maxilliped 3-segmented in female; 4-segmented in male. Legs 1–4 biramous with 3-segmented exopods and 1- (leg 4) or 2-segmented endopods (legs 1–3). Leg 5 reduced, represented by three setae. Leg 6 represented by two setae. No sexual dimorphism in legs 1–4. Type species. Alienigena triangula gen. et sp. nov. (by original designation). Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Latin “ Alienigena ”, meaning stranger. It refers to the most remarkable and unique features such as the body shape and armature of legs 1–4 in the type species. Gender feminine.Published as part of Cheng, Yu-Rong, Ho, Ming-Jay & Dai, Chang-Feng, 2016, Four anchimolgid copepods (Poecilostomatoida: Anchimolgidae) associated with the scleractinian coral Pavona explanulata (Lamarck, 1816) in Taiwan, pp. 274-290 in Zootaxa 4174 (1) on page 275, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4174.1.19, http://zenodo.org/record/26074
