Remarks.
Our material contained large specimens about
9–10 mm
in total length. Individuals were collected on two shelf stations from
Angola
. The appearance of the carapace in the dorsal and lateral view is unique among
Eocuma
species from West Africa. The occurrence of two pairs of notch on anterior-lateral margin is characteristic for
E. cadenati
.
