 Remarks. Campylaspis adami sp. nov. is closely related to C. roscida Hale, 1945 with the integument of the carapace having with tiny tubercles, and being opaque in the new species (glassy in Hale’s), and the uropodal endopod with 5 setae. The new species differs in the basis of maxilliped 3 lacking setae on medial margin, pereopod 1 with more numerous setae, and a longer uropodal peduncle.   
 Distribution. Australia: NSW—east of Port Jackson, at 80 m depth.
