discussion
Remarks. The most similar species are Colurostylis castlepointensis and C. longicauda. Colurostylis pseudocuma can be distinguished from both C. castlepointensis and C. longicauda by the uropod rami, subequal in C. pseudocuma but with the exopod longer than the endopod in both C. castlepointensis and C. longicauda.
