Comparative material: 1 specimen reported as Archechiniscus by Pérez-Pech et al. (2018) ( XK: 1 male)

Remarks: All three specimens match the description of the species by Bartels et al. (2018) including the unique gonopore anatomy and the long cirri A (>10 um) and E (>20 um). The recent description of A. bahamanensis by Bartels et al. (2018) includes all modern taxonomic characters enabling a confident identification of the specimens.
