Sars, 1896 ) (restricted synonymy and bibliography) Leptognathia dentifera G.O. Sars, 1896 : 30 , plate XIV fig.2. Kudinova-Pasternak, 1970 : 353 [doubtful synonymy]. Tumidochelia dentifera ( G.O. Sars, 1896 ) : Larsen & Shimomura, 2007 : 8 , fig. 3. Remarks. The genus Tumidochelia is an Akanthophoreus -like taxon, largely characterized by a relatively short antennule article 1 and inner spiniform process on the uropod basal article. The original diagnosis (and repeated by Larsen & Shimomura 2007 in the enlargement of the genus) is in error in stating that the cheliped carpal shield is on the inner face – it is on the outer face. Tumidochelia dentifera , principally a shelf and shallow-bathyal species from west European waters (see Sieg 1983 ), has been doubtfully recorded from the Kurile-Kamchatka Trench ( Kudinova-Pasternak 1970 ), at 4895–6225 metres while another species, T. knighti Larsen & Shimomura, 2007 , has been recently described from bathyal depths (635–654 metres) off Okinawa.
