discussion
Remarks. Alamprops comatus is most similar to A. tomalesi, and can be differentiated by having the lateral margins of the telson serrate, whereas the lateral margins are entire in A. tomalesi. In addition, A. comatus is known from the deep Antarctic, while A. tomalesi is known from shallow waters off the coast of California.
