| Abstract |
A detailed reexamination of male and female Entophilus mirabiledictu Markham & Dworschak, 2005 (an endoparasite of callianassid shrimp), resulted in recognition of seven female and five male characters that separate the species from its sole congener, E. omnitectus Richardson, 1903 (an endoparasite of munidid squat lobsters). These characters show that the two species are so different as to warrant E. mirabiledictu being placed in its own genus within the Entophilidae. Additionally, a review of the morphological features of entophilid cryptoniscus larvae led to the finding that the number of flagellar segments on the second antenna offers morphological support for a recent molecular phylogeny of epicaridean taxa that rearranged the component families within the two recognised superfamilies. This work highlights the power of using larval characters in testing hypotheses on the evolutionary relationships of epicaridean taxa. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 August 2015.
All research outputs
#20,290,425
of 22,826,360 outputs
Outputs from Systematic Parasitology
#636
of 732 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#220,966
of 264,090 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Systematic Parasitology
#5
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,826,360 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 732 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 264,090 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
