Remarks
. The most similar species to
Mesolamprops hartleyi
, in terms of the carapace morphology, are
M. bispinosus
and
M. japonicus
. However, they can be differentiated from the
M. hartleyi
by the length of the telson, being about 0.8 the length of the uropod peduncles in
M. hartleyi
, and equal to the uropod peduncles in the other two species.
