993687B9F60BFFB7FE9DF906035B23A4.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS (after Boyko, 2002): Outer-ocular spines triangular; rostrum not produced anteriorly as far as anterolateral spines; branchiostegite weakly spinose. Dorsal flagellum of antennule with 39 – 54 articles, ventral flagellum with 10 – 13 articles. Antennal flagellum with 8 – 12 articles. Pereopod II dactylus with tapered rounded heel. Pereopod III dactylus with bifurcated heel. Pereopod IV dactylus with produced acute heel. The collected specimens completely correspond to the re-description of the species presented by Boyko [2002]. To compare individual populations and perform phylogeographic analyses, it is important to use barcoding (analysis of COI mtDNA gene marker variability). COLORATION. From uniformly creamy to brown with light brown highlights along the edges and grooves of the carapace and appendages. The setae and bristles are dark (Fig. 2; [Marin, 2013 a]). BODY SIZE. The largest studied specimen is CL. 27 mm.	en	Marin, I. N., Kolevatov, V. A.
