( Fig. 8D)

Material examined. RV Hakuhō Maru 1896, ranging from Japan to Sri Lanka through Taiwan, the Philippines and Indonesia, 100– 928 m depth, but the ambulatory legs are dis- tinctly longer and more slender. Otherwise, Tava- res and Cleva (2010) reproduced the photograph of the holotype female and mentioned that the merus–carpus articulation of the last ambulatory leg almost reaches the second epibranchial tooth (lying well before the second tooth in T. ovale ) .

Distribution. The type locality is the Siberut Strait, west of Sumatra, Indonesia, at 750 m depth. The other known localities are the Philip- pines, 1030–1650 m depth, and Taiwan; 718– 852 m depth.
