Lamprops beringi.— Lomakina, 1958a: 86–87, fig. 34, pl. 1 fig. 4.

Type material. Holotype: USNM 13678, female. Bering Sea, North Pacific.

Diagnosis. Carapace with one lateral ridge, antennal notch weak, pseudorostrum blunt, eyelobe small. Telson 1.0 length of uropod peduncles, 6 pairs lateral setae, 3 terminal setae. Uropod peduncle with 9 medial setae. Adult male antennal flagellum not extending to end of thorax.

Depth. 0–129 m

Distribution. Sea of Japan, Sea of Okhotsk, Bering Sea, Northern boreal Pacific.

Remarks. There are only two species of Lamprops with a single lateral ridge, L. beringi and L. sarsi, and they can easily be differentiated by the number of terminal setae on the telson. In L. beringi there are three terminal setae, while in L. sarsi there are five terminal setae. Within the genus Alamprops, there is only one species with three terminal setae on the telson, A. kensleyi, which can be differentiated by the lack of any lateral ridges on the carapace
