Kalliapseudes [Kalliapseudes]

Description

Kalliapseudes is a key genus within the family Kalliapseudidae, characterized by their specialized body structure suited for burrowing into the soft sediments of the deep-sea floor. These organisms have a significant role in the benthic ecosystem, aerating the sediment and contributing to the nutrient cycling. Their morphology includes a chelate second pereiopod and a unique carapace that differentiates them from closely related taxa.
