Type
material
. Deposition unknown. Kamchatka Peninsula,
USSR
.
Not
seen
.
Diagnosis
. Carapace without lateral ridges, antennal notch absent, pseudorostrum pointed, eyelobe small. Telson 1.0 length of uropod peduncles, 0 pairs lateral setae, 5 terminal setae. Uropod peduncle with 1 medial seta.
Adult male
entire antenna including flagellum only as long as uropod.
Depth
.
0–92 m
.
Distribution
. Northern boreal Pacific, Bering Sea.
Remarks
. There is only one other species of
Lamprops
with a single lateral ridge on the carapace,
L. beringi
; however,
L. beringi
and
L. sarsi
can be differentiated by the telson setation. In
L. beringi
the telson has 3 terminal setae, while in
L. sarsi
the telson has 5 terminal setae. The most similar species in
Alamprops
is
A. pseudosarsi
, which has three ridges on the carapace, although the posterior ridge may be quite weak.
The placement of this species in
Lamprops
is quite clear, as the male is without pleopods and the antenna 2 is quite short. However, uropod exopod article 1 is distinctly longer than article 2, which suggests that the use of uropod exopod article ratios is not an exceptionally useful character to differentiate genera.
