Description
Pseudodiastylis benthedii Ledoyer, 1988
Pseudodiastylis benthedii Ledoyer, 1988: 149–150, fig. 13. Type material. Holotype: MNHN, adult male. Southeast of the Iles Glorieuses, Mozambique Channel, Indian Ocean, 11°44’S, 47°35’E. Not seen.
Diagnosis. Carapace without ridges, covered in spines; pseudorostrum less than 0.5 carapace length. Adult male unknown.
Depth. 3716 m.
Distribution. Mayotte Islands, Mozambique Channel, Indian Ocean, 11°44’S, 47°35’E.
Remarks. This species is similar to Pseudodiastylis ferox in being covered in spines; however, P. benthedii has a much shorter pseudorostrum, much less than 0.5 the carapace length. In P. ferox the pseudorostrum is more than 0.5 the carapace length.
