Taxonomic remark Cheirimedon velia (J.L. Barnard 1961) is distinctive and unique among its congeners by the presence of deep, sharp serrations on the posterodistal corner of the basis of pereopod 6. Based on the narrowly rounded, unproduced posteroventral corner of epimeron 3, it is most similar to C. adentatus.
In the original description of Cheirimedon velia, J.L. Barnard (1961) commented on the similarity between it and Uristes natalensis K.H. Barnard, 1916. Lowry & Kilgallen (2014b) have since classified U. natalensis as incertae sedis, on the basis that the family placement cannot be determined from the original description; however, K.H. Barnard (1916) clearly states that the fifth article of gnathopod 1 (i.e. the carpus) is longer than the sixth article (the propodus). This does not fit the diagnosis for Cheirimedon. [details]
