Paralophogaster glaber Hansen, 1910

Records from Indonesia. Seram Sea, Taam Island, between Kei Kecil and Kei Besar Islands, Arafura Sea, and eastern part of Jamdena Island (Arafura Sea). Depth range: 118–314 m ( Hansen 1910; Casanova 1996).

Remarks. This species is included in the Glaber-group, in which the large lateral spines on the telson are very long and overreach the apical spines. Paralophogaster glaber can be recognized by its antennal sympod armed with a strong, stout spine. The lateral margin of the telson is armed with 9–10 pairs of robust setae including two large setae, where the most anterior pair is the strongest and can reach the middle part of the distal setae. The apical plate is armed with 5 short spinules and 4 long bristles ( Băcescu 1981), sometimes with 6 spinules and 5 long bristles ( Hansen 1910).
