Large otter trawl: 30 specimens, including ovigerous and larvigerous (JcJ; 2 specimens bear each a small bivalve mollusc. Description of holotype (larvigerous 3). Trunk elongated and slender, lateral processes separated by more than their own diameter (Fig. 36 «). Cephalic segment as long as the remaining segments plus abdomen. Neck long and slender, less than half as wide as the anterior cephalic lobes; base of oviger small and rounded, in contact. Fig. 36. Nymphon angolense, : a. Dorsal view of body of holotype with chelophores and palps. b. Lateral view of body with chelophore and palp. c. Third leg. with first lateral process. Ocular tubercle low and rounded; a little higher than wide, eyes conspicuous (Fig. 36 a and b). Proboscis half as long as cephalic segment, cylindrical, rather rounded at apex. Abdomen reaching a little beyond fourth lateral process, elevated at an angle of about 45°, approximately three times as long as broad. Chelophore. Scape subequal to proboscis; length five times the distal width. Chela slender, rather curved and somewhat longer than scape (Fig. 37 a); fingers a little longer than palm, approximately forty-five crowded spinules on immovable, fifty-five on movable one. Palp long and slender, segments 2-5 in the proportions 10 : 6 : 3 : 3-3 (Fig. 37 b)..
