Etymology. The name comes from the Latin seminalis, meaning seed, alluding to the shape of the carapace.
Depth. 418–1199 m.
Distribution. Chatham Rise, New Zealand, 34.80– 42.62°S, 175.31– 175.92°E.
Remarks. Farragolamprops seminalis is readily distinguishable from the other species in the genus, F. spinacristatus, by the carapace and the telson terminal setae. In F. seminalis there are multiple ridges dorsal of the marginal carina, serrate in the female and entire in the male, while in F. spinacristatus there are no ridges dorsal of the marginal carina. In F. seminalis the three telson terminal setae are unequal, with the central seta short, while in F. spinacristatus the three telson terminal setae are equal in length.
