Notes

The elongate, thread-like legs of this shrimp are easy to see in this photograph. However, as previously stated, the images were taken too far away to see features of the teeth on the rostrum or the relative length of the rostrum to the carapace and so neither Fig. 27 nor Fig. 28 can be identified beyond Nematocarcinus . Furthermore, it cannot be determined whether they are the same species or not. Fig. 29 .
