Carapace with branchial swellings, with 1 pair lateral ridges, in lateral view with dorsal humps. Telson 1.9 pleonite 6, 0.5 uropod peduncles, without lateral setae. Adult male unknown. Depth . 188–550 m . Distribution . South Africa , 27°59’S , 32°40’E . Remarks . The undulating dorsal line of the carapace in lateral view is shared by Platysympus japonicus and P. muranoi . However, P. japonicus and P. muranoi can be differentiated by having a longer telson than P. camelus . In P. camelus the telson is less than twice the length of pleonite 6, while in the other two species the telson is more than twice the length of pleonite 6.
