Paratypes: ovigerous female (dissected), NIWA 0 93211, TAN0707/139, 39.6373°S, 172.1532°E – 39.6457°S, 172.1522°E, 264–266 m, 7 June 2007; adult male (dissected), NIWA 0 94978, TAN0707/139, 39.6373°S, 172.1532°E – 39.6457°S, 172.1522°E, 264–266 m, 7 June 2007. Non-type material: 2 adult males, NIWA 0 94978, TAN0707/139, 39.6373°S, 172.1532°E – 39.6457°S, 172.1522°E, 264–266 m, 7 June 2007.
Diagnosis. Female and subadult male. Carapace elongate, with single partial ridge, strongly rugose; ventral margin smooth; antennal notch oblique. Eyelobe without lenses. Pseudorostrum acute, 0.16 times carapace length anterior of eyelobe. Antennule article 2 shorter than article 3. Maxilliped 3 ischium not produced. Pereopod 1 basis ischium merus together shorter than carpus propodus dactylus together, carpus shorter than propodus, propodus shorter than dactylus. Pereopod 2 carpus 2.5 times propodus length. Pereopods 3–4 with rudimentary exopods in female. Telson with 5 lateral setae, more than 0.5 times length of uropod peduncles.
Adult male. Carapace similar to female. Antennule with brush of setae. Telson produced dorsally, with 4–5 lateral setae.
Etymology. From the Latin implanus meaning uneven, in reference to the rugose surface of the carapace.
Description. Adult male holotype 4.4 mm, adult male paratype 4.6 mm. Body ( Figs. 18 View FIGURE 18 A–B). Carapace rugosities short, not connected into longer ridges. Pereonite 5 produced bluntly posteriorly. Pleon unornamented.
