Parapontocaris caribbaea (Boone, 1927)

Pontocaris sp. – Takeda 1983: 71, Suriname, French Guiana [310–475 m] = Parapontocaris caribbaea in Chan (1996).

Parapontocaris caribbaea – Chan 1996: 319, Suriname, French Guiana [re-determination of Takeda’s specimens, with this comment: “The Pontocaris sp. reported by Takeda (1983) from Surinam and French Guiana actually belongs to Parapontocaris and very probably represents the present species, since it has four dorsal teeth on the carapace”].
