Figure 37. Aegapheles copidis sp. nov. Holotype. A, pereopod 7; B, pereopod 7, propodus and distal margin <strong>of</strong> carpus, mesial side; C, pleopod ; D, pleopod 2; E, uropod, in situ; H, uropod exopod, ventral view, in situ. 3–5 each with distolateral point; pleopods 2–4 peduncle distolateral margin without prominent acute RS. Uropod peduncle ventrolateral margin with 2 RS, posterior lobe about one-half as long as endopod. Uropod rami with apices narrowly rounded. Endopod apically not bifid, lateral margin proximally convex, with prominent excision, positioned about three- quarters <strong>of</strong> the way along ramus, proximal lateral margin with 2 RS, distal lateral margin with 4 RS, mesial margin weakly convex, with 6 RS. Exopod extending 72 to end <strong>of</strong> endopod, 3.9 times as long as greatest width, apically not bifid; lateral margin weakly convex, with RS; mesial margin sinuate, proximally concave, with 4 RS. femaLe: Not known. size: Holotype 22 mm, a mature male; females probably larger.
Variation: <strong>The</strong> left and right uropodal exopod lateral margins had 0 and robust setae. <strong>The</strong> robust setae on the posterior margin <strong>of</strong> the pleotelson are apparently uneven though some may be missing; the probable number is 0 or 2. remarks: Aegapheles copidis sp. nov. can be identified by the prominent propodal blade on pereopods –3 together with the wide frontal lamina, and the relatively slender uropodal endopod, the lateral margin <strong>of</strong> which is weakly excavate; in addition the pleotelson apex extends only a little way beyond the posterior <strong>of</strong> the uropods. <strong>The</strong>re are three species <strong>of</strong> Aegapheles that have a propodal blade on pereopods –3. Aegapheles copidis has a longer propodal blade, shorter uropod exopod and weakly excised endopod lateral margin in comparison to A. kixalles Bruce, 2004; A. musorstom Bruce, 2004 has a symmetrically ovate frontal lamina, wide uropodal exopod which is longer than the endopod, pereopods 2 and 3 with a single continuous row <strong>of</strong> robust setae on the inferior margin <strong>of</strong> the merus, and longer robust setae on pereopods 5–7. <strong>The</strong> tropical Aegapheles trulla Bruce, 2004 has a similar number <strong>of</strong> robust setae on the merus <strong>of</strong> pereopods –3 but these are not arranged in two rows; in addition the uropodal endopod lateral margin is weakly excised, uropodal exopod is very wide and the frontal lamina sub-circular. <strong>The</strong> single specimen was minimally dissected as, though very recently collected, high-grade absolute ethanol preservation had rendered it exceptionally brittle and fragile. <strong>The</strong> antenna, antennule, mouthparts and pleopods show few differences at species level, and direct observation suggests that these appendages are generally similar to those <strong>of</strong> other species <strong>of</strong> the genus (see Bruce 2004a). prey: No records. distribution: West Norfolk Ridge, northeastern <strong>New</strong> <strong>Zealand</strong>; 52 –539 metres. etymoLogy: <strong>The</strong> epithet is the Latin copidis (cleaver, kitchen knife), alluding to the wide propodal blade on the anterior pereopods.

Pereopod 3 similar to pereopod 2. Pereopods 5–7 inferior margins <strong>of</strong> ischium–carpus with long acute RS, superior margins <strong>of</strong> ischium–carpus with long, stiff, acute setae.
