Etymology. The species is named concavus in reference to the concave anterior margin in the dorsal view.
Depth. 592–720 m.
Distribution. Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania, Australia, 33– 42°S, 148– 152°E.
Remarks. The new species can be differentiated from Misceolamprops dolorsae by the carapace morphology and uropod peduncle. In the new species, the branchial regions of the carapace are not inflated, while in M. dolorsae the branchial regions are inflated. In the new species, the uropod peduncles have at least seven setae medially, while in M. dolorsae the uropod peduncles have no more than four setae medially.
