TYPE MATERIAL OF STEGOCEPHALIDAE 
and the more distinctive genus Parandaniexis Schellenberg, 1929. It 
is, however, separated from all Parandaniexis spp by the absence of 
a subchelate pereopod 4. Furthermore, of the above mentioned 
species, only Parandaniexis inermis Ledoyer, 1986 lacks dorsal 
teeth on pleon segments 1-3.

MATERIALEXAMINED. Holotype, immature female 4.0 mm, ‘Vema’ 
station 53 (see Barnard 1962: 40): Cape Basin, 4893m. Paratypes, 
immature 2.0 and 1.5 mm, ‘Vema’ station 53. 
DISTRIBUTION. Known only from the type locality (and possibly 
from the west coast of Mexico). Pelagic.

setae-row present, row reduced to one or two setae, setae con- 
spicuously large and strong; outer plate outer setae-row present, 
marginal, setae attached in a deep hollow, setae short, straight;
