Crangon franciscorum franciscorum. — Butler 1980: 101. Diagnosis. Exoskeleton smooth, thin. Rostrum short, not reaching cornea of eye, apex rounded. Carapace with one dorsal median tooth, also hepatic, branchiostegal, moderate pterygostomian teeth. Eye small, pigmented. Stylocerite exceeding first segment of antennular peduncle. First segment of antennular peduncle with distal spine. Scaphocerite with lateral tooth exceeding blade. Third maxilliped setose, with exopod. Pereopod 1 with inner spine on merus; hand of subchela elongate, dactyl closing almost longitudinally against inner tooth. Pereopod 2 slender, chelate. Pereopod 3 slender, with simple dactyl. Pereopods 4, 5 setose, more robust than third, with simple dactyls. Abdominal pleura 1–4 with blunt to rounded pleura, somite 5 with posterolateral tooth, somite 6 with moderate posteroventral tooth.

The latter, having a more slender subchela than the former (6–8 times as long as wide versus 4–5.5 times as long as wide), was reported from Kachemak Bay, Alaska to Tillamook Rock, Oregon. It seemed to inhabit deeper, cooler, ... |
