Specimens TMCD003326–3334, and EA0238: variation appears in body length/width ratio (1.80–2.55), flagellum length (extending to within pereonite 2 and/ or 3), pleotelsonic length/width ratio (1.51–2.71) and number of pleotelsonic spines (11 or 13). The smallest body length/width ratio is that of TMCD003327 (1.80), and TMCD003331 has the largest (2.55). Length of most flagella length extending to within pereonite 2 but TMCD003328 and TMCD003333 can extend to within pereonite 3. The pleotelsonic length/width ratio is also very different, with TMCD003330 being the smallest at 1.51, and TMCD003327 being the largest at 2.71. For most specimens the number of pleotelsonic spines is 13, but TMCD003329 and TMCD003330 have 11 (

). The immature and juvenile specimens do not necessarily exhibit all the species characteristics found in fully adult specimens; in particular, the form of the pleotelson spines may be substantially different. So, new species should never be based on sub-adults (of any stage) where related species are very similar.
