Material examined

New Caledonia: NORFOLK 2, Norfolk Ridge , Jumeau Est Bank, stn DW 2108, 23 ° 479S, 168 ° 179W, 403–440 m, 31 October 2003, 1 ovig. ♀ (MNHN-Na 15937) .

Remarks

The dactyl of ambulatory pereiopods with accessory spine is minute, as shown by Bruce (1991a, p 309, Figure 6f ), but the rostrum is very slender, rod-like as shown by Kemp (1922) and Holthuis (1952a), with rostral formula 2+6/2. Previously recorded from New Caledonia by Bruce (1991a). The present record extends its bathymetric range from 73– 304 m to 440 m.

Distribution

Type locality: Mergui Archipelago. Also known from Somalia, Kenya, Philippines, Indonesia , and New Caledonia.
