Distribution. Kei Islands, Taiwan and north-western Australia. 204– 390 m.
Remarks. This specimen is more spinose than the Kei Island and Taiwan material described by Baba (2005) and Baba et al. (2009). Baba (2005) described the species as having a few spines on the dorsal surface of the branchial region. The north-western Australian specimen has two large spines and six smaller spines on the branchial region. This is the fifth specimen collected of this species. Our female carried 26 eggs of 1.2 mm diameter.
