Remarks. The largest specimen in the present work has a general shape very similar to those in Maddocks (1969a) . Although it certainly belongs to the same species-group, its size is somewhat smaller than Neonesidea tenera . It probably corresponds to an A-1 instar of the species. N. manningi Maddocks, 1975 , from Ascension Island , is also similar, but even smaller ( Maddocks 1975 ). Several species of the N. tenera group present similar carapaces, but distinctive appendices.
