cf. Pseudosphyrapus sp. A sensu Błażewicz-Paszkowycz, Bamber & Cunha, 2011 Remarks . Błażewicz-Paszkowycz et al . (2011) gave a partial description of a sphyrapid species with mixed characters of Pseudosphyrapus ( i.e ., conspicuous rostrum, articulation of pereonite 1 with the cephalothorax, parallel-sided pleon with small lateral spine-like apophyses, and short proximal article in the antennular mainflagellum) and Sphyrapus ( i.e ., no accessory flagellum on the antennule) but refused to name a new species due to the scarcity and poor quality of the available material. According to the characters in the description, it is undoubtedly a novel taxon, and thus it is included here. Additional material would be required to formally establish its taxonomy. Ecology . This species was found in Kidd and Jesus Baraza MVs, in sediments composed by carbonate clay and mud breccia, at 552 and 1105 m depth. : Published as part of Esquete, P. & Cunha, M.
