Copidognathus rombus Makarova, 1978 (Figs. 19–22) Type series .ɹHolotype: ˂ NSMT-Ac 14703 (1/8119), paratypes: 1 ˂ NSMT-Ac 14704 (2/8120) and 1ˁ NSMT-Ac 14705 (5/8120). Condition .ɹEach body part is visible in type specimens. However, chaetotaxies of idiosoma, gnathosoma, palps, and legs are partly recognizable. Holotype ˂: Idiosoma length 450, width 325; gnathosoma length 105, width 95. Paratype ˂: Idiosoma length 480, width 375; gnathosoma length 110, width 100; second legs are broken. Paratype ˁ: Idiosoma length 410, width 300; gnathosoma length 105, width 95; the distal part of the idiosoma is broken, and the right first and left third and fourth legs are missing. Remarks .ɹThe specimen number of the holotype given on the glass slide corresponds to that in the original description in Makarova (1978). However, the specimen number of the paratypes given on the slide does not match those in the original description (ˁ and ˂: 3, 4, 5/8120 and 2/8121). Although the general characteristics of the specimen on the slide are barely recognizable, the collecting date and locality given on the slide correspond to those in the original description. Consequently, the female specimen (2/8120) on the slide will probably be the paratype (2/8121) in the original description. The species was described by Makarova (1978) based on a specimen from the Gulf of Anadyr in the Bering Sea. Apart from the types of Copidognathus rombus , the present glass slide contains four female specimens with the name shown as Halacarellus longus [ nomen nudum ].
