Agulhas Bank, 35°09’S, 18°32’E. Diagnosis. Carapace without lateral ridges, without setae, dorsal crest serrate, eyelobe serrate. Pleonites without dorsal crest. Telson 0.7 length of uropod peduncles, with 7 pairs lateral setae, 3 terminal setae. Uropod exopod article 1 1.3 length of article 2. Adult male telson with 4 pairs lateral setae. Depth. 226–3725 m.
