Description

Caecoserolis sp.

Material. Ψ (imm. 16.5 mm), Bellona Trough, 41.37 83’ S, 166.74 00’ E, 23 Apr 1980, stn P940, 2092 m (NIWA 27532).

Remarks. This species is similar to C. carinata sp. nov., but is smaller, distinctly reddish in colour in preserved specimens rather than olive, has shorter coxae 6, the pleotelson apex less acute, there are no nodules on pereonites, and the antennule flagellum extends only to the posterior of pereonite 1. I believe this to be a distinct species, but mature adults are necessary in order to characterise the species.
