Description

Campylaspis G.O. Sars 1865

Type species. Cuma rubicunda Liljeborg 1855.

Diagnosis. Female. Carapace vaulted; truncate mandible with acute pars molaris, broad pars incisiva; maxilliped 1 of three articles, merus and carpus fused into single broad article, propodus absent, dactylus minute; maxilliped 2 propodus frequently with 1 or more large spines or stout setae distally, dactylus tridentate. Male. Carapace less vaulted than in female, ornamentation usually less pronounced than in female.

New Zealand species. Campylaspis apheles n. sp., C. bituberculata n. sp., C. hatchae n. sp., C. macrosulcata n. sp., C. microsulcata n. sp., C. millsae n. sp., C. normani n. sp., C. rex Gerken & Ryder 2002, C. rufus n. sp., C. schnabelae n. sp., C. sculptaspinosa n. sp., C. zealandiaensis n. sp., C. zimmeri n. sp.

Remarks. The New Zealand Campylaspis diversity is greater than that recorded from Antarctic waters, from where only 11 species are known (Petrescu & Heard 2000, Petrescu & Wittmann 2003), although less than the 44 species known from Australian waters (Petrescu 2006).
