Remarks.
The most similar species is
A. comatus
; however, in
A. comatus
the lateral margins of the telson are serrate, while in
A. triserratus
the lateral margins of the telson are entire. In addition,
A. triserratus
is known from shallow waters off
California
, while
A. comatus
is known from
3423 m
in the Antarctic. The most similar
Lamprops
is
L. pumilio
, in which the telson is 0.9 time the length of uropod peduncles, and uropod exopod article 1 is 1.1 times the length of article 2. In contrast, in
A. tomalesi
the telson is 0.7 times the length of the uropod peduncles, and uropod exopod article 1 is twice the length of article 2.
