Treatment

Phronima curvipes Vosseler View in CoL

Phronima curvipes Vosseler, 1901: 27–29 View in CoL , pl. 3, figs 1–3.

Type material

Type material of P. curvipes could not be found at the ZMB or ZMH and is considered lost.

Remarks

Females of this species can resemble P. solitaria but are readily distinguished by the characteristic reversed ‘S’ curvature of the basis of pereopod 5, in lateral view. Males are similar to P. colletti and P. pacifica , but are distinguished by the details in the shape of pereopod 5, and by the reduced numbers of flagella articles of antennae 2 (7–9 versus 12– 13 for P. colletti and 15–17 for P. pacifica ).
