discussion
Remarks. Hemilamprops cristatus is distinctive among North Atlantic congeners by its serrate crest on the carapace. The most similar species is H. pellucidus, which can be distinguished by the lateral setation on the telson. In H. cristatus there are four or fewer pairs of lateral setae, while in H. pellucidus there are five or more pairs of lateral setae.
