Distribution. This species is known from the continental shelf and slope off southeastern Brazil ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ), where it occurs at mainly in mud, but also in sand and one station with gravel bottom, at depths ranging from 77 to 1310 m.

Remarks. Hamatipeda prolata sp. nov. is a typical member of the genus Hamatipeda by the presence of conspicuous hook-like spines on the carpus of pereopods 4–6 and with their unguis tip trifurcate. With parallel pereonite margins, the new species is immediately distinguished from H. trapezoida , and the long antennule article-3 distinguishes it from H. sima ( Table 2 View TABLE 2 ). The new species resembles H. longa ( Falkland Islands) in general habitus, how- ever differs by (1) stouter body that is about 15 times L:W ( H. longa is 20 times L:W); (2) cephalothorax slender, 1.7 times L:W (1.3 times L:W in H. longa ); (3) presence of long setae on antennule article-3 (clearly shorter in H. longa ); (4) pereopods 1–3 merus with ventrodistal spine (absent in H. longa ); (5) pereopod-1 carpus with ventrodistal spine (absent in H. longa ); and (6) pereopods 2–3 carpus with two ventrodistal spines (only one in H. longa ).

Finally, Hamatipeda prolata is different from all Hamatipeda species by pereonite-1 more than twice L:W, pereonites 2 and 3 about three times L:W and pereopod-1 merus and carpus with ventral spines.
