Type material The type of V. cultripes could not be found at the ZMB or ZMH and is considered lost. Fortunately this is a very distinctive species adequately characterised by Vosseler’s (1901) figures and description. The type locality is the Atlantic Ocean, southern equatorial current, 0–400 m (J. N. 213), 5.3ºS, 37.6ºW. Material examined (> 150 specimens) Tasman Sea: 1 lot (AM), 1 specimen. North Atlantic: 4 lots (BMNH), 6 lots (USNM), 7 lots (ZMB), 13 lots (ZMUC), numerous specimens. South Atlantic: 2 lots (BMNH), 3 specimens. North Pacific: 12 lots (LACM), 5 lots (USNM), 44 specimens. Indian: 10 lots (ZMB), several specimens. Mediterranean: 38 lots (ZMUC), numerous specimens. Central Indo­Pacific: 2 lots (USNM), 2 specimens. Diagnosis Body length up to 19 mm, but usually 12–15 mm. Antennae 1 as long as head and first pereonite; flagellum oval, distal margin rounded. Gnathopod 2; carpal process about 0.7x length of propodus. Pereopods 3–6; dactylus length about 0.2x propodus. Pereopod 7; basis rectangular, width about 0.7x length, slightly longer than ischium to carpus combined, with slight posterodistal lobe barely ...
