Remarks
.
Campylaspis stanae
sp. nov.
has a large circular sulcus as in
C. lowryi
sp. nov.
and
C
.
radui
sp. nov.

C. lowryi
in having maxilliped 3 with a longer merus;
Campylaspis stanae
has a longer maxilliped 3 merus than
C
.
radui
sp. nov.
, with the pereopod 2 dactylus with a pedunculate tip vs. normal dactylus in
C
.
