discussion
Remarks. The most similar species to Mesolamprops hartleyi, in terms of the carapace morphology, are M. bispinosus and M. japonicus. However, they can be differentiated from the M. hartleyi by the length of the telson, being about 0.8 the length of the uropod peduncles in M. hartleyi, and equal to the uropod peduncles in the other two species.
