Material examined. WA, near Mermaid Reef, 17°46.10'S, 120°43.15'E – 17°45.95'S, 120°42.94'E (stn SS05-2007 097), 97–109 m, 20 Jun 2007, NMV J155708 About NMV (ovigerous female lacking most pereopods, cl. 6 mm) GoogleMaps .

Distribution. Indo-West Pacific from Japan and Hawaii in north, Tuamotu in east, through Indonesia, to southwestern Australia, and to Kenya; to 100 m depth.

Remarks. Paraxiopsis brocki has been redescribed and illustrated several times recently. It has been recorded from WA and NT in Australia by Poore and Griffin (1979) and Morgan (1990). The new specimen has prominent rostral spines like that figured by Poore and Griffin (1979), more prominent than on the specimen from Tuamotu figured by Ngoc-Ho (1998). The female has prominent uniramous first pleopods.
