Alamprops comatus (Zimmer, 1907) n. comb.

Lamprops (?) comatus Zimmer, 1907: 373.

Type material. Holotype: ZMB 18 338, female, Antarctic, 65°15’S, 80°12’E.

Diagnosis. Carapace without lateral ridges; eyelobe not extending to anterior border of pseudorostrum. Telson without lateral setae, 5 subequal terminal setae. Uropod peduncle with 3 medial setae; uropod exopod unknown. Male unknown.

Depth. 3423 m.

Distribution. Antarctic, 65°15’S, 80°12’E.

Remarks. Alamprops comatus is most similar to A. tomalesi, and can be differentiated by having the lateral margins of the telson serrate, whereas the lateral margins are entire in A. tomalesi. In addition, A. comatus is known from the deep Antarctic, while A. tomalesi is known from shallow waters off the coast of California.
