Paraleptochelia [Paraleptochelia]

Description

Paraleptochelia is a genus within the Tanaidae family, closely related to Leptochelia but distinguished by subtle morphological differences, particularly in the structure of their appendages and the shape of their bodies. These tanaids are important inhabitants of marine benthic ecosystems, where they contribute to the breakdown of organic matter and serve as a food source for various benthic predators.
