Pseudodiastylis benthedii Ledoyer, 1988: 149–150 View in CoL , fig. 13. Type material. Holotype: MNHN, adult male. Southeast GoogleMaps of the Iles Glorieuses GoogleMaps , Mozambique Channel GoogleMaps , Indian Ocean, 11°44’S, 47°35’E. Not seen.

Diagnosis. Carapace without ridges, covered in spines; pseudorostrum less than 0.5 carapace length. Adult male unknown.
