Tuleariocaris neglecta, the "black urchin shrimp". I haven't seen it in any book.

I suspected urchin shrimp, i find the latin name much more exciting. Where did you find the ID, if not from an ID book?????

Thank you!!!!

I'm writing the descriptive text for new species that are being included in our upcoming Marine Creatures Identification DVD (a companion for the Humann & DeLoach creatures and corals books for the Caribbean), so I use published scientific papers as source material. We are roughly doubling the number of species. Many (most?) of the new species are not in any books.
