Material examined

, 3 ov. females (cl
11.6–11.8 mm
, pcl
8.8–8.9 mm
), Mermaid L24 east transect, 17°02.838–03.708'S, 119°39.684–41.358'E,
424–456 m
, beam trawl, SS05/2007/077 (acq. 022),

.
Remarks
. The Western Australian specimens of
T. orbis
agree closely in most respects with the
type
description (Baba 2005) exhibiting similar carapace and pereopodal spination. In addition to the distal spine, the chelipeds have 2–4 dorsal carpal and 1–3 meral spines of varying size. The pereopod 2 merus is armed with 5–10 graded extensor marginal spines in addition to the distal spine; the extensor meral margins of pereopods 3 and 4 have only the distal spine. Baba (2005) noted the presence of a decalcified area on the surface of the ischium on pereopods 1– 3 of the
holotype
of
T. orbis
. Similar translucent, decalcified areas are evident in two of the present specimens, indistinct in the other.
Distribution
. Kei Islands,
Norfolk Island
and now from Western
Australia
;
260–
456 m
.
Acknowledgments
We are grateful to Chris Rowley and Melanie Mackenzie (both Museum Victoria) for collection management support, Gary Poore (Museum Victoria) for initial sorting of specimens, Karen Gowlett-Holmes (CSIRO) for permission to reproduce her colour images of squat lobsters. Funding for the surveys was provided by the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and the CSIRO Wealth from Oceans Flagship. This work was partially supported by a Postdoctoral Fellowship from Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS) to the first and last authors, and the Marine Biodiversity Hub through the Australian Government’s National Environmental Research Program (NERP). Funding for the second author’s postdoctoral fellowship was provided through the Census of Marine Life project, “Continental Margin Ecosystems” (COMARGE). Travel support was provided for work conducted at the Australian Museum, Sydney, through the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL)/ Smithsonian Institution Rubenstein Fellowship.
