Etymology
. This species has a pair of horns on the ocular lobe.
Description
. Integument glabrous. Carapace (gures 1A,B) 79% of entire body length, oval in dorsal view; pair of teeth on tip of ocular lobe; with small antennal notch and serrate antero–ventral margin. Antenna 1 (gure 1C) main agellum with two articles, longer than last article of peduncle; accessory agellum with three short articles and two long apical sensory setae (very characteristic of the genus). Maxilliped 2 (gures 1D –F) with hyaline serration on inner margins of carpus and propodus; tooth 5 of dactylus as long as tooth 3, 4 half as long as 3, with a setule, tooth 1 twice as long as 2. Maxilliped 3 (gure 2A) basis comprising almost half of its length, without distal outer process; ischium with inner tooth; merus with three inner teeth and three longer teeth on outer margin; carpus with three outer teeth; dactylus with two serrate terminal setae and one peculiar biserrated spine. Pereopod 1 (gure 2B) basis comprising half of its length; ischium as long as merus; carpus as long as propodus, longer than dactylus. Pereopod 2 (gure 2C) carpus with a spine on inner distal corner, dactylus broken in only specimen. Exopods on maxilliped 3 and pereopods 1 and 2. Pereopod 3 (gure 2D) with long and thin articles, basis longer than half of its length. Pereopods 4 and 5 (gures 2E,F) with progressively shorter bases. Uropod (gure 2G) peduncle 2.78 times as long as last pleonite, with small setae on inner margin, 1.73 times as long as endopod; exopod 77% as long as endopod, with long simple apical seta and two setules on inner margin; endopod with three long robust setae on inner margin, two subterminal spines (inner one longer) and setulated terminal spine, shorter than exopod seta.

Remarks
.
Procampylaspis cornuta
n. sp.
belongs to the group of
Procampylaspis
species
with very short ocular lobes, including
