Comparisons. Doloria (Dolorietta) sp. nov. 2 resembles D. (D.) levinsoni, but differs in (1) the type of double bristles on the antero-ventral and ventral infolds of the carapace; (2) the shape of proximal process on main tooth of fifth limb; (3) the Bellonci organ; and (4) the anterior body. Besides, D. (D.) sp. nov. 2 is close to D. (D.) sextafiliformis, but differs in (1) the bifurcated basal spine on the 9th exopodite segment of antenna; (2) the shape of the Bellonci organ; and (3) the anterior body (Table 3).
Distribution. Recent. Drake Passage, Scotia Sea, Atlantic Sector of the Southern Ocean. Deep bathyal (2333–2359 m).
Remarks. This new species is left in open nomenclature because of the lack of adult specimens.
