Non-type material. 2 ovigerous females, 4 subadult females, MV J62358 View Materials , 39°44’48”S, 148°40’36”E, 124 m, 14 Nov 1981, R.S. Wilson.
Diagnosis. Female and subadult male. Carapace with weak serrations dorsally on frontal lobe. Pseudorostrum with short setae terminally. Antennal notch oblique, without teeth or serrations. Pereopod 1 basis less than half length of all other articles together. Adult male. Carapace with dorsal margin smooth. Antennal flagellum of 6 articles. Exopods with expanded bases.
Etymology. From the Greek, dolosus meaning deceitful, in combination with levis , forming dolosolevis , in reference to the similarity between the new species and Austroleucon levis and the likelihood of confusing the two species.

Distribution. Eastern Bass Strait, Tasmania, 120– 124 m.
Remarks. This species can be differentiated from the other two species of Austroleucon by the combination of the oblique, smooth antennal notch and the pereopod 1 basis being shorter than half the length of the rest of the articles together. In A. adiazetos the antennal notch is excavate with a strongly serrate margin, and in A. levis the pereopod 1 basis is longer than half the length of the rest of the articles together.
