Pallenopsis (Bathypallenopsis) sp. indet. cf. tydemani Loman, 1908

Material. One juvenile, sample 11121#17, 3490± 3520 m.

This specimen is too immature to identify con®dently to species. The oviger is of only three to four articles; the propodus is similar to that of P. tritonis , but auxiliary claws are shorter; there is no ocular tubercle, but two conspicuous small tubercles instead; this and the proboscis are reminiscent of those of P. tydemani . The location (east of the Azores) and depth are consistent with the known distribution of that species.
