 Etymology. The species is dedicated to Alexandru Marinescu, distinguished specialist in exhibitions and history of science, from the “Grigore Antipa” Museum, as a sign of high gratitude and respect for his brilliant work he done in the museum, with the occasion of his anniversary of 70 years.   
 Diagnosis. Carapace 0.47 body length, with rows of tubercles of various sizes; 1 pair of tubercles on basis of frontal lobe; pleonite 5 with 1 dorsal, 1 ventral and 1 pair of lateral teeth; maxilliped 2 propodal seta little longer than dactylar teeth; pereopod 2 dactylus with usual tip; uropodal peduncle 2.25 pleonite 6 length, 1.6 endopod length; exopod 0.9 endopod length; endopod with 4 microserrate setae.

 Remarks. Campylaspis marinescui sp. nov. is related to C. heardi sp. nov., both species without lateral a sulcus and with carapace covered with numerous tubercles. It differs in: carapace with tubercles without spines; maxilliped 3 with merus shorter than in C. heardi, with fewer teeth; carpus shorter than merus vs. longer; propodus as long as carpus vs. shorter; uropod with shorter peduncle, endopod with 4 vs. 2 medial setae.   
 Distribution. Australia: NSW—northeast of Eden, east of Broken Bay, of Terrigal, and of Long Reef, at 250–914 m depth.
