Sergia ?hansjacobi - Guadeloupe, Karubenthos II 2015, field det. J. Poupin, st. CP4644, 28 June 2015, 15°46.96'N, 61°5.11'W, 898-835 m, MNHN-IU-2013-19172.
Comment: Karubenthos specimen is attributed with reserve to Sergia hansjacobi Vereshchaka, 1994 based on shape of rostrum, aspect of carapace, 1 dorsodistal spine on tergite 6, and previous regional records. However, this identification needs to be checked with the specimen and Vereshchaka (1994: 75) key.
