Pq. “Soloncy Moura”: st. 403, 400 m, 1 ex. (MZUSP 15355); st. 405, 197 m, 1 ex. (MZUSP 15367), st. 1004, 295 m, 54 ex. (MZUSP 15349); st. 1005, 199 m, 13 ex. (MZUSP 15361); st. 1007, 101 m, 1 ex. (MZUSP 15369). Recognition characters. Carapace with margins arched, almost as wide as long. Outer orbital spine followed by 5 lateral spines. Gastric area with 1 pair of epigastric spines. One parahepatic spine on each side of carapace. Branchial and hepatic areas unarmed. One cervical spine on each side of carapace. Cardiac area with 1 central spine above mesocardiac groove. Several spines in posterior branchial area. Posterior margin of carapace with 1 pair of spines. Rostrum short, length similar to supraocular spines. Abdominal tergites 2 and 3 with anterior margin armed with 4 spines each; abdominal tergite 4 with 2 or 4 spines on anterior margin. Peduncle of antennule with outer terminal spine much longer than inner one. Peduncle of antenna with only segment 2 armed, with 1 inner and 1 outer spine. Third maxilliped with 1 strong spine on ventral (flexor) margin of merus. Ambulatory legs characteristically long, their lengths similar to that of cheliped. Distribution. Western Atlantic: Virginia, Carolinas, Gulf of Mexico (south and north coast), Bahamas, Cuba (north and south coast), Cay Sal Banks, Puerto Rico, Lesser Antilles (St. Kitts, Dominica, St. Lucia, Barbados), Mexico, Venezuela, Guiana and Brazil (São Paulo, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul); 129–729 meters depth. According to Wenner (1982), this species is most abundant between 200 and 400 meters. : Published as part of Schmidt, Gustavo A. & Melo-Filho, De, 2008, Specimens of Galatheidae (Crustacea: Decapoda) collected by N.
