However, the description and figures provided by Bovallius (1889) readily characterise this species. The type locality is the “South Atlantic” according to Bovallius (1887), but the only Atlantic record given for this species by Bovallius (1889) is 17º22’N, 37º23’W! Material examined (> 150 specimens) North Atlantic: 1 lot (BMNH), 2 lots (SMNH), 1 lot (USNM), 1 lot (ZMB), 7 lots (ZMUC), 18 specimens. South Atlantic: 3 lots (ZMUC), 4 specimens. Mediterranean: 1 lot (SMNH), 30 lots (ZMUC), numerous specimens. North Pacific: 5 lots (ZMUC), 26 specimens. South Pacific: 10 lots (BMNH), 1 lot (ZMUC), 24 specimens. North Indian: 5 lots (ZMUC), 11 specimens. South Indian: 6 lots (ZMUC), 14 specimens. Central Indo­Pacific: 1 lot (ZMUC), 3 specimens. Tasman Sea: 4 lots (ZMUC), 5 specimens. Diagnosis Body; length of sexually mature specimens 4–6 mm; very hirsute, even on head. Antennae 2 of female absent or reduced to small knob on cuticle. Mandibular palp absent in both sexes. Gnathopod 1 weakly chelate, carpal process forming small, triangular lobe, with single robust seta terminally. Gnathopod 2 with slender carpal process, almost as long as propodus, with single robust seta terminally. Uropod 1 & 2 of female with rami only slightly longer than respective peduncle. Uropod 3 of female with ...
