Weddell Sea, Antarctic, 75°40’S, 56°40’W GoogleMaps . GAM types seen, NHMW and RMNH not seen.

Diagnosis. Carapace with several lateral ridges, without setae, dorsal crest entire. Pleonites with distinct dorsal crest. Telson 0.8 length of uropod peduncles, with 3 pairs lateral setae, 3 subequal terminal setae. Uropod exopod article 1 0.7 length of article 2. Adult male unknown.

Depth. 340–520 m.

Distribution. Weddell Sea, Antarctica, 70– 76°S, 11– 56°W.

Remarks. This species can be distinguished from all other Hemilamprops by the combination of two lateral ridges on the carapace, three terminal setae and three or fewer pairs of lateral setae on the telson. The most similar species is H. bicarinatus from the Indian Ocean; however, H. bacescui is only known from the Weddell Sea.
