Abstract

有纸版 Nephropsis macphersoni is newly described based on two specimens, male and female, from the bathyal zone in Australian waters. One of the specimens was previously designated as the paratype of N. holthuisi Macpherson, 1993. To clarify the taxonomic status of N. holthuisi in the genus, it is redescribed on the basis of the holotype and additional specimens mainly from Japanese waters.
