Material examined.
Morphological examination: ZMUC-CRU 7038 (East
Greenland
)
This specimen consists today of a head without mouthparts, and of the front of the pereon (gnathopods 1 and 2). The
type
slide that
Stephensen (1931)
used, was not found. The parts we examined are identical to the illustrations cited above, and we have not made new illustrations. Hansen only had one specimen (
Stephensen, 1931
), and we have not found this species in the other musea we have visited so far.
