Type-locality. Campos Basin, 21°47' 22.36"S – 40°02' 19.53" W, 758 m.
Geographic d istribution. Slope of the Atlantic coast off south-eastern Brazil, Campos Basin, 680–758 m depth.
Remarks. Kudinopasternakia falconae n. sp. shares several characters with almost all species of the genus: (i) rostrum pointed; (ii) pleonites with rounded epimera; (iii) basal article of the pleopod with one plumose seta; (iv) absence of thick lobate setae on distodorsal margin of pereopod 4 propodus. The species without this combination of features are: K. amazonica (rostrum rounded); K. serejae n.sp. (basal article of pleopod naked); K. dispar , K. larisae and K. trispinosa (pleonites with pointed epimera); K. amazonica , K. bispinosa and K. trispinosa (thick lobate setae present on pereopod 4 propodus).
Kudinopasternakia falconae n.sp. differs from K. balanorostrata , K. bispinosa , K. brasiliensis , K. dispar and K. siegi in having ten articles on the antenna (versus nine); the ventral margin of pereopod 6 unguis is serrate (versus smooth, without ornamentation). The new species differs from K. trispinosa in that the outer margin of antennule has three articles (versus four); the ventral margin of pereopod 1 propodus has four spiniform setae (instead of three); the ventral margin of pereopod 4 propodus has three spiniform setae (versus four).
