Description of female.
Body (
Fig. 182A
) eruciform, incompletely 7-segmented, consisting of cephalosome, first to fourth pedigerous somites, genital complex, and 1-segmented abdomen. Body length
2.23 mm
; maximum with 682 μm (across second pedigerous somite). Cephalosome 360×490 μm, distinctly defined from first pedigerous somite; posterior part of body from second pedigerous somite narrowing posteriorly. Genital apertures positioned laterally on genital complex. Abdomen 250×290 μm, gradually narrowing posteriorly; anus opening dorsally; anal prominence and anal operculum absent (
Fig. 182B
). Caudal rami (
Fig. 182B
) tapering, about 2.9 times longer than wide (208×71 μm), with straight, sclerotized lateral margin and oblique medial margin, and tipped with 1 small spine (55 μm long).
Rostrum absent. Antennule (
Fig. 182C
) broad, indistinctly 2-segmented, 70×50 μm; proximal segment un- armed; distal segment with 6 or 7 setae (3 setule-like and 2 with swollen articulated base); 1 small distal seta (indicated by arrowhead) present or absent. Antenna (
Fig. 182D
) consisting of proximal segment and large distal claw; proximal segment 45 μm long, with 1 small cusp subdistally; distal claw (or claw-like distal segment) 50 μm long, slightly curved, unarmed.
Labrum (
Fig. 182E
) armed with 5 broad, spinulose, setiform processes along posterior margin, middle 3 processes about 33 μm in length and about 1.5 times longer than lateral 2. Mandible absent. Maxillule (
Fig. 182F
) bilobed distally, with 5 elements on inner lobe and 3 elements on outer lobe, all elements ornamented with minute spinules; 5 elements of inner lobe consisting of 2 shorter processes and 3 slender setiform elements; elements on outer lobe all broad, blunt processes. Maxilla (
Fig. 182G
) massive, 2-segmented; broad proximal segment bearing 1 sclerotized tubercle on protruding medial margin; distal segment terminating in strong claw, with 1 small seta proximally. Maxilliped absent.
Leg 1 (
Fig. 182H
) 2-segmented; proximal segment unarmed, with scattered minute spinules on anterior surface; distal segment bearing 1 claw (representing exopod) and 1 shorter, tapering, corrugated process (endopod). Legs 2-4 same as leg 1. Leg 5 absent. Leg 6 not visible.

Remarks.
bnterçpsẚs trçmsçensẚs
sp. nov.
can be clearly defined by the characteristic armature of the labrum and maxillule. Its labrum is armed with 5 setiform processes along the free posterior margin. Although Illg &
Dudley
(1980)
recorded the presence of 5 or 6 “setae” on the labrum of
b
.
capẚtulata
, these elements were described as small, naked, and arranged along the anterior margin of the labrum. No other congeners are recorded as having 5 setae or processes on the labrum. The maxillule of
b
.
trçmsçensẚs
sp. nov.
is armed with 3 processes on the inner lobe and 5 processes on the outer lobe. The numbers of processes are extraordinary because they exceed the previously known maximum numbers, which are 2 on the inner lobe and 3 on the outer lobe (reported in five other species).
