Description

Mesolamprops denticulatus Ledoyer, 1988

Mesolamprops denticulatus Ledoyer, 1988: 73–74, fig. 4.

Type material. Holotype: MNHN-CU246, male. Canyon du Planier, off Marseille.

Diagnosis. Carapace without lateral ridges, dorsal crest denticulate. Pleon not including telson shorter than carapace and pereonites together. Telson with 4 pairs lateral setae, 3 terminal setae. Adult male antennal flagellum short, extending to end of pereon; pleopod rami unequal, lateral ramus biarticulate, shorter than medial ramus.

Depth. 259–753 m.

Distribution. Mediterranean Sea, Faroe-Shetland Channel.

Remarks. This is the only Mesolamprops with a denticulate dorsal crest. Mesolamprops denticulatus was considered a Mediterranean endemic prior to the records from the Faroe-Shetland Channel reported by Shalla & Bishop (2007), although these records were evidently overlooked by Coll et al. (2010) who treated the species as a Mediterranean endemic.
