Cyclozodion angustum - Guadeloupe (first record), Karubenthos II 2015, field det. J. Poupin, st. DW4586, 21 June 2015, 15°59.62'N, 61°22.51'W, 251-204 m, MNHN-IU-2013-19003; st. DW4597, 22 June 2015, 15°55.47'N, 61°23.48'W, 210-208 m, MNHN-IU-2013-19033.
Comment: the shape of the carapace of the specimens examined is similar to that of C. angustum as illustrated in Williams (1984, fig. 203). This species can be confused with Cyclozodion tuberatum Williams & Child, 1989, a species also collected during Karubenthos 2015. During Karubenthos 2012 a few specimens have been attributed with hesitation to C. ?angustum because they are very small and/or broken and could be perhaps juveniles of C. tuberatum with tubercles not fully developped on carapace.
