Remarks
.
Styloptocuma angelae
sp. nov.
is similar to
S. poorei
Petrescu, 2006
, with a few spines on carapace and a short posterior serration on last pleonite.
Styloptocuma angelae
mainly differs in: carapace length relative to height (1.7 vs. 1.4), antenna 1 peduncle article 1 relative to rest of articles (0.9 vs. 0.7), pereopod 1 with propodus (1.1 vs.
0.8 in
S. poorei
and uropod endopod of
Styloptocuma angelae
with 5 vs. 4 setae medially in
S. poorei
.
