B77287A27F045D5D173EFA0038E81A3C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The single female specimen collected from one small outcrop of methane hydrate differs from the specimens here referred to A. methanophila n. sp. in the proportionally longer rostrum (0.67 times of the carapace length), slender second segment of the antennular peduncle (1.96 times longer than wide) and narrower antennal scale (about 2.1 times longer than wide). Based on these features, combined with the notably convex branchiostegal region of the carapace, this female specimen is assigned to A. muricola with little hesitation.	en	Komai, T., Shank, T.
