Fig 339

Distribution

RV Polarstern, PS77, ANT-XXVII/3, stn 211 (there were several sub-stations for stn 211), Shag Rocks. The species is known from a photograph taken by H. Robert and Ch. Havermans. The specimen was unavailable for study.

Remark

This species looks similar to A. pulchra and A. schellenbergi but displays some differences. Pereionites 5 and 6 have each a conspicuous posterodorsal tooth, which is absent in A. pulchra and A. schellenbergi . The pereiopods are striped, which is not the case or not so pronounced in A. pulchra .
