discussion
Remarks. Hemilamprops pterini is most similar to H. chilensis, but can be differentiated by the carapace lateral ridges. In H. pterini a lateral ridge sweeps from the pseudorostrum dorsally and connects with the branchial expansions, while in H. chilensis the lateral ridge is short and ventral to the pseudorostral suture, and does not come dorsal of the midline of the body.
