 Remarks. Campylaspis hangiuae sp. nov. has a large and long lateral sulcus reminiscent of C. edenensis Petrescu, 2006, C. berentsae sp. nov. and C. vasilescui sp. nov.; it has the pereopod 2 dactylus without a digitiform tip as in C. berentsae (with process in C. edenensis and C. vasilescui); it differs from C. berentsae in having the eyelobe without lenses and maxilliped 3 with a bulky carpus; uropod endopod with 5 setae vs. 3 in C. vasilescui.
