Plate 1 Issued from : E.L. Markhaseva & J. Renz in Arthropoda Selecta, 2019, 28 (2). [p.221, Fig.5, A-B, I).
Female (from Kurile-Kamchatka): A-B, habitus (lateral and dorsal, respectively); I, P1.
Scale bars: 0.1 mm.

Nota:
- Prosome 3.2-3.4 times as long as urosome.
- Rostrum absent.
- Cephalosome and pediger 1 incompletely separate, pedigers 4 and 5 completely separate.
- Posterior corners of prosome in dorsal view oval, in lateral view rounded.
- Urosome 4-segmented.
- A1 24-segmented, reaching posterior border of genital double-somite.
- P1: coxa with medial spinules; basis with medial spinules, small lateral spinule distally and medial distal curved seta with setules; endopod 1-segmented with lateral lobe, its lateral margin with spinules, posterior segment surface with few tiny spinules; exopod segment 1 to 3 with 1 long lateral spine each, spine of exopod segments reaching nearly to the distal third of the following spine, spine of exopod segment 2 reaching the first third of the following spine.
- P5 absent.
Plate 2 Issued from : E.L. Markhaseva & J. Renz in Arthropoda Selecta, 2019, 28 (2). [p.221, Fig.5, C-H).
Female: C-D, posterior corners of prosome and urosome (dorsal and lateral, respectively); E-F, posterior corners of prosome and genital double-somite (lateal view)G, genital field (ventral view); H, caudal ramus (ventral view).
Scale bars: 0.1 mm.

Nota:
- Spermathecae upturned, very narrow, in ventral view not visible.
- Caudal rami with 1 dorsal seta, 1 ventral seta and 4 terminal setae.
Plate 3 Issued from : E.L. Markhaseva & J. Renz in Arthropoda Selecta, 2019, 28 (2). [p.222, Fig.6).

- Mx2: praecoxal endite with 3 setae; coxal endite with 3 setae; basal endites with 3 setae each, all endites decorated with thin denticles; enditic-like lobe of proximal endopodal segment with 3 setae, one seta thicker, spine-like; endopod with 6 long and 2 thinj small setae.
- Mxp: syncoxa with 1 seta on proximal praecoxal endite, 2 setae on middle praecoxal endite and 3 setae on distal ^praecoxal endite; coxal lobe with 3 setae; basis with 3 setae; endopod 6-segmented, 2 setae of the 1st segment fused to basis and following segments with 4, 4, 3, 3+1, 4 setae.

Remarks

Abbyssal, more or less 5000 m; above sea bed.
This species is more closely related to the species Prolutamator hadalis, and differs by a small distal knob that is absent from the prosome posterior lobe (vs knob is present in P. hadalis).
