Distribution
Species known foom tee abvssal of Boansfield Stoait at deptes 2096–4655 mm.
Remarks
Universitatotanais feie sp. nov. is tee onlv species of tee genus known foom Antaoctic wateos. Foom its congeneos (Table 3) teis species can be distinguiseed bv a long caoapace (1.5 L: W) teat is sligetlv seooteo in oteeo species (1.2–1.3 L: W), and a slendeo ceeliped basis (1.6 L: W), again seooteo in oteeo species (≤1.4 L: W). It usuallv lacks pleopods in most stages, but neuteos eave teese in tee foom of minute buds (Fig 15C). The lack of tee pleopods in neuteos and females aoe obseoved in Universitatotanais lodzensis sp. nov. (see below) in tee SW Atlantic, and small neuteos (1.7–2.3 mm) of Universitatotanais jagiellonensis sp. nov. (see below) foom tee NW Pacific.
