Remarks
. The most similar species to
Alamprops obfuscatus
are
A. carinatus
and
A. flavus
. In
A. obfuscatus
the outermost pair of setae on the telson are longer than the central seta, and the uropod peduncle has at least 8 medial setae. In contrast, in
A. carinatus
the central terminal seta on the telson is the longest, and in
A. flavus
the uropod peduncle has five or fewer medial setae. Within
Lamprops
, the most similar species is
L. korroensis
, which can be differentiated by the telson being half the length of the uropod peduncles, while in
A. obfuscatus
the telson is shorter than the uropod peduncles but much longer than half the length of the peduncles.
