Remarks.
This species is poorly known, however in the original description of the species K.H. Barnard (1926) specified “
side-plate 1 subtriangular, inferior angle sub-acute… first gnathopod, 6
th
joint a little shorter than the 5
th
”. Furthermore, J.L.
Barnard (1962)
illustrated the gnathopod 1 coxa as being only slightly shorter than the coxa of gnathopod 2 (vestigial in
Schisturella
). This combination of characters indicate that this species is more properly placed in
Thrombasia
.
