Material examined. WA, off Cape Leveque, 14°36.89'S, 121°19.65'E – 14°36.25'S, 121°20.74'E (stn SS05-2007 147), 700– 698 m, 02 Jun 2007, NMV J54313 About NMV (hermaphrodite, cl. 10 mm, tl. 31 mm) GoogleMaps .
Remarks. The single individual lacks chelipeds and has a neat U-shaped excision at the anterior of the gastric region where the rostrum and supraocular spines, typical of species of Ambiaxius , might attach. Pleopods 1 and 2 are typical of the genus. Ambiaxius franklinae , from the Coral Sea, has similar maxilliped 3, pleopods 1 and 2, fused triangular eyestalks, and telson and uropods, but has a shorter scaphocerite, quite linear in this specimen.
