Remarks.
In the original publication, only one collection number was assigned to the ZMH - K paratypes, even though the specimens were collected at six different stations. Here, we assigned a new collection number to five lots (see above), whereas the original number given by Mühlenhardt-Siegel (2010) is retained by the first lot listed in the paratype section. Additional paratypes are deposited at the MNHN (MNHN -Cu 1144).
Diagnosis.
Carapace with a single row of 6 dorsomedian teeth in anterior half; pseudorostrum long, rounded terminally, 0.8 times as long as rest of carapace, with 3 teeth ventrally (female). Uropod, exopod equal in length to endopod (after Mühlenhardt-Siegel 2010).
Distribution.
Southeast Atlantic, Angola and Guinea Basins, 5138–5144 m depth.
