The pseudorostrum in A. profundus is long and distinctly dorsally inclined, well distinguished from the rest of the carapace. In all other Alamprops and Lamprops , the pseudorostrum is in line with the dorsal margin of the carapace and is relatively short, not long and distinct from the rest of the carapace.
