GENUS TUTANKHAMEN RATHBUN, 1925

Remarks: Rathbun (1925) erected this genus for the species Mesorhoea cristatipes A. Milne-Edwards, 1880 . The holotype is presumably housed in the MNHN collections in Paris; Rathbun (1925) noted that an additional specimen had been deposited in the Museum of the State University of Iowa. Clark & O’Shea (2001) reported an undetermined species of Tutankhamen from vents at the Kermadec Ridge. Records of this genus are lacking from the accounts of Australian Crustacea by Davie (2002) and Poore (2004).
