Hughes & Peart, 2015. These two species are recorded from almost opposite ends of the country with over 1000 km between them and situated on water bodies influenced by different currents and geophysical history. Though the two species have some similarities, such as the shape of gnathopod 2 propodus (narrow, palm with a subquadrate midmedial tooth), the shape of the lower lip outer plate (entire), similar setation and shape of uropod 3 (broad peduncle, small rami, 2 distal peduncular robust setae, 1 marginal robust seta), there are also a number strong differences that give the necessity of these being separate species. These differences include: the shape and length of the antennae (A1 and A2 similar length in

); the shape and size of gnathopod 1 (robust with shortened articles, propodus ovoid to subrectangular, palm excavate with small posterodistal tooth, subquadrate predactylus tooth and large defining robust seta in

|
<taxonomicName lsidName="E. taylori" pageId="3" pageNumber="28" rank="species" species="taylori">E. taylori</taxonomicName>

). The other main difference between the two species is the majority of the setae on every appendage of

second interesting aspect of the discovery of this species is that the specimens were collected from a kelp raft. While many organisms can be found on floating or rafting macroalgae, ampithoids are only occasionally recorded rafting (
|
||
|
<bibRefCitation pageId="4" pageNumber="29">Thiel and Gutow 2005</bibRefCitation>
|
||
|
) but are not obligate rafters. As there are no other records of this species, it cannot be inferred whether it is an obligate rafter or not. The kelp was determined to have been drifting in the water for around five weeks (determined by the stage of goose barnacle

) and probably originating from southern New Zealand. This is the first record of an ampithoid in this area of New Zealand.
