Penis armed with 6 mesially directed setae on distal margin and with about 10 setae on distal half of lateral surface (Fig. 4 A). Marsupium composed of 3 pairs of developed oostegites; oostegites on seventh thoracopod with small posterior lobe. All pleopods of male developed, biramous (Fig. 4 B–E, H).

All pleopods of female reduced to unsegmented single lobe, flattened, gradually increasing in length from first to fifth pleopods; third to fifth pleopods knife­shaped with acute apex (Fig. 3 E–L). Tenagomysis longisquama sp. nov. A–D, (23.1 mm), holotype, NIWA 3927 (H­ 878); E–L, female (26.1 mm), paratype, NIWA 3928 (P­ 1433). A–C, first to third left thoracopod, posterior; D, sixth left thoracopod, posterior; E–I, first to fifth left pleopods of female, posterior; J–L, apical part of third to fifth left pleopods, posterior. Uropodal endopod slightly longer than telson, armed on mesial ventral margin from statocyst region to near apex with 44–52 spines becoming larger distally, and on ventral surface of proximal 1 / 3 with 13–20 spines arranged irregularly (Fig. 5 A, B). Uropodal exopod 1.4 times as long as endopod (Fig. 5 B). Telson 1.4 times as long as last abdominal somite, 2.6–2.7 times as long as broad, tapering towards posterior end, with apical cleft (Fig. 5 B). Lateral margin of telson armed with 45–48 subequal small spines on entire length (Fig. 5 B). Apical cleft 1 / 4 of telson length, narrow in anterior 2 / 3, diverging in posterior 1 / 3, with pair of plumose setae on anterior end; lateral margin of cleft convex, serrulated on entire length (Fig. 5 B). Remarks Tenagomysis longisquama is similar to T. tenuipes Tattersall, 1918, in having the antennal scale with an acute apex, the 10 ­ to 16 ­subsegmented carpopropodus of the endopods of the third to eighth thoracopods, and in the shape and armature of the telson. However, it is separated from T. tenuipes by the character states given in Table 1. Tenagomysis longisquama is readily distinguished from the other species of the genus, except T. tenuipes , by a combination of the long rostrum with an acute apex, elongate antennal scale with an acute apex, 10 ­ to 16 ­subsegmented carpopropodus of the third to eighth thoracopodal endopods, arrangement of spines on the mesial margin of the uropodal endopod, and shape and armature of the telson. The female pleopods of a Tenagomysis are here described for the first time.
