Material examined:
FSFL EL804, EL805 (3♂♂, 1 ovig.♀, 2♀♀-49°05′S, 59°52′W, 394 m deep; May 2, 1978); EL728 (1♂-53°03′S, 64°51′W, 152 m deep; May 17, 1978); EL963 (1 ovig.♀-47°59′S, 60°W, 564 m deep; May 25, 1978). Total length from tip of rostrum to telson, 11.5-14 cm.
Description:
Carapace covered with thick short setae, being not compressed; antennal and branchiostegal spines needle-like and each followed by a longitudinal strong ridge on anterior third of carapace, which becomes obtuse on median third and indistinct on posterior third of carapace. Rostrum about as long as carapace, curving obliquely upward; its upper margin with 4 equidistant teeth, 2 of which are on the anterior half of carapace; rostrum deep, with proximal part of lower margin strongly excavated to receive large corneae, tapering rapidly; lower margin with 3 or 4 teeth, tip of rostrum being sharply pointed. Stilocerite attaining about middle part of second peduncular segment of antennule, with its proximal part rather wide; scaphocerite wide. Abdomen strongly bent at third segment which is provided with a median blunt ridge; pleura of fifth segment with 2 spines at basal part of posterior margin and distal end; no pleura in sixth abdominal segment, with position of 2 spines like preceding segment. Telson with 5 ro 6 pairs of movable spines on lateral margins of dorsal surface, bearing a pair of large movable spines on posterior margin.
Distribution:
Restricted to the Magellanic region of South America, from the vicinity of 41° S of Chilean coast through Tierra del Fuego northward to about 47° S off Argentina; 30-815 m deep, mostly deeper than 200 m.
Remarks:
Two longitudinal ridges on the carapace are very prominent, causing a first impression of some Heterocarpus species of the Pandalidae. Its monochromatic brick red color is also similar to the pandalid species and quite different from the preceding species, C. vagans Bate.
