Family Latiremidae

Bodin (1975) has formally proposed that Latiremus Bozic is a synonym of Delamarella Chappuis (see p.12 of the Keys). A simple key to the sole genus of the family can be constructed.

The relationships of the family are not at all clear, although it would appear to belong to the Suprafamily Ameiridimorpha Lang. Further research is required and until then it is best to treat the family as incertae sedis in Harpacticoida and thus to place it at the end of the sequence of families.
