03D5C216FFD8FF9FFEDD07E1B2EEFCC7.taxon	discussion	Discussion: Paralamyctes wellingtonensis n. sp. is most obviously distinguished from P. chilensis (Gervais in Walckenaer & Gervais, 1847) by its more elongated spur­bearing process on the female gonopod (compare Figs. 2, 29 herein with Fig. 24 B of Edgecombe 2001). Analysis of molecular sequence data and combined molecular and morphological data indicates that the two species are each others' closest relative (Edgecombe & Giribet 2003). Morphologically, they share the usual presence of 19 mostly elongate antennal articles, relatively large, bulging eyes (Fig. 8), a small Tömösváry organ (Fig. 11 versus Edgecombe 2001, fig. 25 M), four or five pointed teeth on each dental margin of the maxillipede in most specimens (Fig. 15), and strong articulations between tarsomeres. The mandibles are very similar, sharing many small, barb­like pinnules along both margins of the aciculae (Fig. 17 versus Edgecombe 2001, fig. 25 K) and abundant bristles in the furry pad that curl back towards the dorsalmost tooth (Fig. 18 versus Edgecombe et al. 2002, fig. 7 D).	en	Edgecombe, Gregory D.
