Melbourne : CSIRO Publishing, Australia xiv 641 pp. [463] (Stephenson & Campbell (1959: 117) suggested that the distinctive male first gonopod and the narrow carapace of P. granulatus may be sufficient to place it uniquely in a separate subgenus. As it is the type species of Cycloachelous Ward, I follow their suggestion and maintain Cycloachelous distinct from Achelous)
