Remarks.
Homogenised data for SO 237-02-7 might be inaccurate at the final depth recording; there is more than 2,000 m difference between the initial and final depths.
Diagnosis.
Carapace with 2–3 teeth dorsally anteriorly on frontal lobe, about 4 teeth below and 1 above frontal lobe fissure; pseudorostral lobes short, blunt, with 4 teeth above and at least 2 teeth below. Uropod, endopod basal article with 4 cuspidate and microserrate setae along inner margin, second article with 5 teeth and 2 terminal setae; exopod almost as long as endopod (after Mühlenhardt-Siegel 2019).
Distribution.
North Atlantic, Vema Fracture Zone, 5085–5735 m depth.
