Distribution. The type locality and only confirmed record is at 3612 m depth, from a bottom of diatom ooze, 62°26'S, 95°44'E, Southern Indian Ocean.

Remarks. Brucerolis bromleyana can be identified by the small acute projection on the anterolateral margins of pereonite 1, the emarginate tips of epimera 2 and 3 and the short, concave palm on the male pereopod 2 propodus. The only other species with a small acute projection on the anterolateral margins of pereonite 1 are B. maryannae and B. macdonnellae , both from the South Atlantic. Brucerolis maryannae can be distinguished from B. bromleyana by the serrulate anterior margin of the head and pereonite 1 and by the rounded posterior margin of the pleotelson (that of B. bromleyana is concave). Brucerolis macdonnellae also has a rounded posterior margin of the pleotelson and also differs from B. bromleyana by the acute tips of epimera 2 and 3.

Poore and Brandt (1997: 15, fig. 3) illustrated a male of “ Acutiserolis sp. ” that shares with these three species an acute projection on the margin of pereonite 1. It differed in a more erect submarginal ridge and more elongate propodus on pereopod 2 and may well represent another similar species of Brucerolis close to or in the Southern Ocean.
