VI.1983 (stn NWA 38), NMV J40945 (1 specimen), NMV J40943 (1 specimen, pocl 3.8mm); 19°05'S, 117°26–46.23'E, 120 m, 12. VI.1983 (stn NWA 52), J58872 (1 specimen. pocl 1.2mm); 19°29.65'S, 118°52.8'E, 37–38 m, 25.X.1983 (stn S02-83 D4), NTM Cr. 16685 (8 specimens, pocl 2.7–3.6 mm); Northwest Shelf, 19°05.4'S, 118°53.7'E, 82 m, 27.IV.1983 (stn S02-83 B4), NTM Cr. 2763 (1 specimen, pocl 4.2mm); 19°45.7'S, 117°51.9'E, 54 m, 20.II.1983 (stn S01/83/B13), NTM Cr. 16680 (1 ovigerous female, pocl 4.0 mm); 19°29'S, 118°52'E, 40 m, 26.IV.1983 (stn NWS-08), NTM Cr. 16563 (1 specimen, pocl 2.9 mm). <b>Type locality.</b> The type series came from Indonesian localities: Batjulmati, Java (reef); Labuhan Badjo, western Flores (to 40 m); between Misool and New Guinea (32 m): and Djedan, Kepulauan Aru (13 m). <b>Distribution.</b> Arabian Sea to Indonesia. Australia; Western Australia; 13– 120 m. <b>Remarks.</b> This species resembles <i>Philocheras brucei</i> Komai, 2004, known only from the type locality in Queensland because of the narrow setose rostrum and midlateral spine on the antennal scale. <i>P. angustirostris</i> is readily distinguished by the interrupted dorsal carina (which is continuous in <i>P. brucei</i>).
