Holotype Ψ and 8 paratypes (5 Ψ and 3 ɗ) (ZMUC. CRU-8357) collected during the “Danish Ingolf Expedition” in Davis Strait, Station 25 (63º30΄N, 54º25΄W), at 582 fathoms depth (ca. 1.06 km). Redescription of adult female: Body (Fig. 2 A) cyclopiform, with oval cephalothorax and cylindrical urosome. Total length 904 µm (n = 1); maximum width 452 µm. Ratio of length to width of prosome 1.5:1. Ratio of length of prosome to urosome 2.6:1. Prosome comprising cephalothorax fully incorporating first pedigerous somite and 3 free pedigerous somites. Pedigerous somite 4 much smaller and narrower than preceding somites. Dorsal cephalothoracic shield and free pedigerous somites ornamented with integumental pores and sensillae (these features not shown in Fig. 2 A).
