Etymology. This species name refers to the similarity in morphology with E. hirsuta Sars, 1869 .
Remarks. Females of E. parahirsuta sp. nov. are closely similar to E. hirsuta Sars, 1869 , found in the Northeast Atlantic, 207–2524 m, especially in the shape of the carapace and pereopod 2 with an extremely elongate carpus. However, they can be distinguished as follows. (1) The serrated frontal margin of the carapace does not reach near the siphon (reaching near the siphon in E. hirsuta ), (2) The propodus of pereopod 1 is much longer than the carpus (subequal in length in E. hirsuta ) and twice as long the dactylus (only about 1.5 times in E. hirsuta ). In the subadult male, the frontal margin of the carapace in E. parahirsuta is markedly serrated (not serrated in E. hirsuta ).
Distribution. Pacific coast of northern Honshu, off Boso Peninsula, and Okinawa Trough, 974–3000 m.
