 Remarks. Campylaspis elenaionuti sp. nov. is similar to C. wardi Băcescu, 1991, C. oanalexandru sp. nov., C. mioarae sp. nov., C. paucai sp. nov. and C. grossui Petrescu, 2006 in having 1 strong tooth medially on the margin of the carpus (much stronger in C. elenaionuti). Campylaspis elenaionuti also has a similar slender maxilliped 3 merus as in C. aureliani sp. nov., C. chisamerai sp. nov., C. echinata Hale, C. grossui Petrescu, C. guerragarciai sp. nov., C. johnstoni Hale, 1937, C. longidentata Petrescu, C. lynseyae Petrescu, C. nowrae Petrescu, C. oanalexandru sp. nov., C. paucai sp. nov., C. pustulosa Hale, 1945, C. serrata Petrescu, C. stanae sp. nov., C. tasmaniensis Petrescu, C. trisulcata Petrescu, 2006, C. udrescui sp. nov. and C. wardi Băcescu. It differs mainly in the longer carapace with longer pseudorostrum, pereopod 2 dactylus with 3 terminal plumose setae equal in length, uropod endopod 1 seta in female and 2 in male.   
 Distribution. Tasman Sea—Lord Howe Rise, at 1250 m depth.
