Bamber, Roger N., 2007, Suborders Apseudomorpha Sieg, 1980 and Neotanaidomorpha Sieg, 1980 *, Zootaxa 1599, pp. 13-40 : 30

Carpoapseudes sp. indet.

Material examined. 1 female? without cephalothorax, station KCO, 42º10.79’ – 42º11.14’N 144º11.04’ – 144º11.61’E, 1172–1219 metres, 3 m ORE beam trawl, 18 September 2001.

Remarks. Apparently a typical Carpoapseudes with a conspicuous spiniform apophysis on the coxa of pereopod 1, a smaller apophysis on the coxa of pereopod 2, and pereopod 1 with carpus much longer than merus. The distribution of hyposphenia is similar to that of the previous species, but the pereonites are more compact, with pereonites 4 and 5 wider than long. The bases of the cheliped and pereopod 1 are without proximal apophyses. In the absence of a cephalon, and thus of the rostrum (if any), antennae and antennules, this specimen cannot be resolved further.
