REMARKS

This species was known previously only from the type-collection ( Bamber 2004b), also from the Solomon Islands, slightly north-east of the present record, at 1036-1138 m depth. The cement-gland pore on the type-males was not clear; on the present male, it is evident as an elongate pore proximal on the dorsal surface of the femur.

The present specimens extend the lower depth range to 1750 m. Bamber (2004b) gave a table for distinguishing the four known species of Bathyzetes .
