Lepidocharontidae   Galassi &amp; Bruce,  fam. n.  is erected, containing    Lepidocharon    Galassi &amp; Bruce,  gen. n.  and two genera transferred from the family   Microparasellidae   Karaman, 1934:    Microcharon    Karaman, 1934 and    Janinella    Albuquerque, Boulanouar &amp; Coineau, 2014. The genus    Angeliera    Chappuis &amp; Delamare Deboutteville, 1952 is placed as genus  incertae sedis  in this family. The   Lepidocharontidae   is characterised by having rectangular or trapezoidal somites in dorsal view, a single free pleonite, a tendency to reduction of the coxal plates, and the unique uropodal morphology of a large and long uropodal protopod on which the slender uropodal exopod articulates separately and anteriorly to the endopod.    Lepidocharon    Galassi &amp; Bruce,  gen. n.  has a 6-segmented antennula, a well-developed antennal scale (rudimentary exopod), long and slender pereiopods 1–7 directed outwards, coxal plates rudimentary, incorporated to the lateral side of the sternites, not discernible in dorsal view, the single pleonite narrower than pereionite 7, scale-like elements bordering the proximal part of male pleopod 1 on posterior side, and stylet-guiding grooves of male pleopod 1 which run parallel to the outer lateral margins of the same pleopod.    Lepidocharon   priapus    Galassi &amp; Bruce,  sp. n. , type species for the genus, and    Lepidocharon   lizardensis    Galassi &amp; Bruce,  sp. n.  are described from Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef. The most similar genus is    Microcharon   , both genera sharing the same general organization of the male pleopods 1 and 2, topology and architecture of the stylet-guiding groove of male pleopod 1, morphology of female operculum, presence of 2 robust claws of different lengths on pereiopodal dactylus 1–7, not sexually dimorphic.    Lepidocharon    gen. n.  differs from    Microcharon    in the shape of the pereionites, very reduced coxal plates, the presence of imbricate scale-like elements bordering the proximal postero-lateral margins of the male pleopod 1, and the topology of the pereiopods, which are ventro-laterally inserted and directed outwards in    Lepidocharon    gen. n.  and dorso-laterally inserted and directed ventrally in    Microcharon   .    Lepidocharon    shares with the genus    Janinella    the morphology of the tergites and the reduced  lacinia mobilis  of the left mandible, but differs significantly from    Janinella    in having a well-developed antennal scale, very reduced coxal plates also in females bearing oostegites, the general morphology and spatial arrangement of the stylet-guiding groove of male pleopod 1 and the possession of a 6-segmented antennula. The family   Microparasellidae   is redefined as monotypic, the only genus being    Microparasellus    Karaman, 1933.
