REMARKS
This species was known previously only from the type-collection (
Bamber 2004b
), also from the
Solomon Islands
, slightly north-east of the present record, at
1036-1138 m
depth. The cement-gland pore on the type-males was not clear; on the present male, it is evident as an elongate pore proximal on the dorsal surface of the femur.
The present specimens extend the lower depth range to
1750 m
.
Bamber (2004b)
gave a table for distinguishing the four known species of
Bathyzetes
.
