Acanthaxius polychaetes Sakai, 1994: 193–198 View in CoL , figs.

11–13.— Davie, 2002: 450.

Distribution. Qld, continental slope, 260 m depth.

Remarks. Acanthaxius polychaetes is remarkable for the absence of spines on the upper margins of the carpus-dactylus and abundance of long setae on the chelipeds obscuring any ornamentation. Like American species of this genus and unlike the Indo-West Pacific species, the male possesses a pleopod 1. The distal spine on article 2 of the antenna is, however, characteristically anteromesially directed.
