Diagnosis. (modified from Cabezas et al. 2010 ) Rostrum clearly triangular, larger than supraocular spines, with thin dorsal carina; margin between rostral and supraocular spines straight or slightly concave. Minute spinules on gastric and hepatic regions forming groups arising from scale-like striae and with few short uniramous setae. Mesogastric region with 1 well-developed spine. Median cardiac region with 3 or 4 well-developed spines. Few and short setae along anterior branch of cervical groove. Sternal plastron squamate, with numerous striae on sternites 4-7. Lateral margin of antennular article 1 with distal slender portion about half as long as proximal inflated portion. Antennal peduncle with anterior prolongation of article 1 spiniform; article 2 twice longer than broad, with distomesial spine long, almost reaching end of anterior prolongation of article 1, distolateral spine nearly reaching end of article 3; article 3 1.5 times longer than broad. Base of P1 carpus without bundle of setae. P2 propodus 7-8 times as long as wide, and 1.2-1.3 times longer than dactylus. Distribution . Philippines, Indonesia, Queensland, New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands, Fiji, Tonga, Futuna Island, Vanuatu, Wallis Islands and Bayonnaise Bank, between 395 and 650 m. Remarks. Detailed illustrations for Hendersonida granulata are included in Baba (1988) , Macpherson (1993) and the antennule, antenna and dorsal surface of the carapace were newly illustrated in Cabezas et al. (2010) .
