Hemilamprops bacescui Petrescu & Wittmann, 2003

Hemilamprops bacescui Petrescu & Wittmann, 2003: 584, figs 182–199.

Type material. Holotype: NHMW 19654, subadult female. Paratypes: NHMW 19655, 2 subadult females, 2 subadult males; NHMW 19656, 2 subadult females, 1 subadult males; NHMW 19657, 1 subadult male; GAM Cum 268, 4 subadult females; GAM Cum 269, 1 subadult female; GAM Cum 270, 2 subadult males, 3 adult males; RMNH N 285, 1 subadult male; RMNH N 286, 1 subadult female; RMNH N 287, 2 subadult females, 1 subadult male. Weddell Sea, Antarctic, 75°40’S, 56°40’W. GAM types seen, NHMW and RMNH not seen.

Diagnosis. Carapace with several lateral ridges, without setae, dorsal crest entire. Pleonites with distinct dorsal crest. Telson 0.8 length of uropod peduncles, with 3 pairs lateral setae, 3 subequal terminal setae. Uropod exopod article 1 0.7 length of article 2. Adult male unknown.

Depth. 340–520 m.

Distribution. Weddell Sea, Antarctica, 70– 76°S, 11– 56°W.

Remarks. This species can be distinguished from all other Hemilamprops by the combination of two lateral ridges on the carapace, three terminal setae and three or fewer pairs of lateral setae on the telson. The most similar species is H. bicarinatus from the Indian Ocean; however, H. bacescui is only known from the Weddell Sea.
