Notes

This shrimp could belong to the genus Benthesicymus ( Benthesicymidae ) or perhaps a shrimp of the family Aristeidae . It has a short rostrum with teeth and elongate pleopods. The image shows possible white corneas, seen previously amongst the Benthesicymidae . It is not possible to tell if the shrimp in the photograph has true white eyes or the white colour is a reflection from the strobe light. Fig. 2
