Description. Based on holotype female, 7.7 mm, AM P36872. Head much deeper than long, anterior margin with notch; rostrum present, cone-shaped; eye present, elongate,
paratype immature male, 7.4 mm, NMV J48793 View Materials ; off Cape Tourville, Tasmania. Scales for A1, A2 represent 0.2
mm; remainder represent 0.1 mm.
oval. Antenna 1 peduncular article 1 ball-shaped proximally, distal margin with well-developed medial spine; peduncular article 2 long, length 5× breadth; flagellum without callynophore, calceoli absent. Antenna 2 flagellum about as long as that of antenna 1, without calceoli. Mouthpart bundle subquadrate. Epistome/upper lip almost straight (lateral view). Mandible lacinia mobilis a stemmed distolaterally cusped blade; accessory setal row with intermediate setae; palp article 2 without posterodistal setae, article 3 without A3-seta. Maxilliped outer plate with distal margin smooth, medial margin without notch.
Gnathopod 1 carpus longer than propodus (1.3×); propodus, posterior margin with robust setae. Gnathopod 2 palm acute, without lateral robust setae, 1 medial robust seta. Pereopods 3 and 4 merus and carpus without setal fringe. Pereopod 4 coxa with anterior margin slightly paratype immature male, 7.4 mm, NMV J48793 View Materials ; off Cape Tourville, Tasmania. Scales represent 0.2 mm. obtuse, posterior margin straight, anteroventral corner subquadrate. Pereopods 5–7 with distal articles elongate, dactyls long and slender. Pereopod 5 basis expanded posteriorly, rounded. Pereopod 7 basis subrectangular, posteroventral corner rounded, posteroventral margin curved .
Epimeron 3 posterior margin smooth, with notch immediately above acute posteroventral corner. Uropod 1 peduncle dorsolateral margin with 12 robust setae; outer ramus without large spines between robust setae. Uropod 2 inner ramus moderately constricted. Uropod 3 rami lanceolate; with a few plumose setae; outer ramus 2- articulate. Telson slightly cleft (about 30%).
Male (sexually dimorphic characters). Based on paratype male, 9.3 mm, AM P36873. Antenna 1 flagellum with callynophore, with calceoli. Mandible palp article 2 with 11 posterodistal setae. Pereopods 3 and 4 merus and carpus with setal fringe. Uropod 3 rami with plumose setae .
Etymology. Named for Ken Graham, fisheries biologist on the FRV Kapala , who helped immensely over the years in collecting amphipods and other invertebrates during the cruises of the Kapala .
Remarks. Devo grahami is very similar to D. dubuc but is distinguished by the notch on the anterior margin of the head not extended into a slit, and by plumose setae present on uropod 3 of the female.
Habitat. Devo grahami has been collected on fine and coarse sediment bottoms.
Distribution. Southeastern Australia, Tasman Sea; 549– 1840 m depth.
