Agauopsis bathyalis Bartsch, 1989

Record from more than 1000 m depth – PTW - South west of Lifou, off New Caledonia, 21° S 167° E GoogleMaps , 1380 m depth — Bartsch (1989).

Remarks – This species lacks cornea and eye pigment but other characters like outline of idiosoma, gnathosoma, legs, sculpturing of integuments do not suggest that this species is specialised to life in deep sea abyssal zone ( Bartsch 1989).
