Archasterope dentata Poulsen, 1965

Archasterope dentata Poulsen, 1965:339, figs. 113, 114.

HOLOTYPE.—Female with large unextruded eggs in ovary; carapace length 1.89 mm.

TYPE LOCALITY.—Off southeast Australia, 38°12′S, 149°40′E, 180 m.

MATERIAL EXAMINED.—Through the courtesy of Dr. Torben Wolff, I received from the Copenhagen Museum the holotype and paratype (adult female) of the species. Both were in a single small vial within a larger vial containing a label with the following information: “Archasterope dentata n. sp., 180 m. 17-9-1914. female 1.89 mm. Mortensen leg., E.M. Poulsen det. Type.” Unfortunately, the 1st antennae of both specimens were not in the vial.
