Lophogaster schmidti Fage, 1940

Records from Indonesia. Northern part of Papua, Maluku Sea, Maluku Strait and Banda Sea. Depth range: 2315– 8000 m ( Fage 1942).

Remarks. Lophogaster schmidti can be distinguished by its long rostrum (reaching or overreaching the tip of the antennal scale) and antennular scale with a perfectly round and smooth tip. The lateral margin of the telson has 5 pairs of spines, the distal one being the strongest. The apical plate is armed with 9 to 10 (males) or 10 to 11 (females) spines ( Fage 1940, 1942).
