Paralamprops caudodentatus Corbera, 2006

Paralamprops caudodentatus Corbera, 2006: 154–156, fig. 7.

Type material. Holotype: MNHN-Cu1004, adult male. New Caledonia, 24°11.67’S, 167°31.37’E.

Diagnosis. Carapace with 2 pairs short lateral ridges, marginal carina entire. Telson 0.8 uropod peduncles, with 3 terminal setae. Uropod peduncles with 27 medial setae. Adult male unknown.

Depth. 1070 m.

Distribution. New Caledonia, 24°11.7’S, 167° 31.37°E.

Remarks. Of the two species with ridges on the carapace in addition to the marginal carina, it is simple to differentiate between Paralamprops caudodentatus and P. serratocostatus . In P. serratocostatus the ridges are long and are all serrate or toothed, while in P. caudodentatus the ridges are very short and their margins are entire. Within Platytyphlops, there are no species with a similar carapace to P. caudodentatus .
