The apseudomorphan tanaidaceans of the deep sea have been under-studied, especially in chemosynthetic habitats. A total of ten species present in the Gulf of Cadiz and the Horseshoe Continental Rise (SW off the Iberian Peninsula) are listed here, and new distribution data, ecological remarks and description of one new species of Atlantapseudes (Atlantapseudes curvatus sp. nov.) from recent research cruises are added. Pseudosphyrapus azorensis and Francapseudes uniarticulatus are recorded for the first time since the original descriptions. Notes on morphological development of Leviapseudes segonzaci and intraspecific variation of F. uniarticulatus are included, together with illustrations and descriptions of the material from the Gulf of Cadiz to complement previous descriptions.
深海中的仿伪形类等足目动物一直未得到充分研究，尤其是在化学合成栖息地。本文列出了加的斯湾和马蹄形大陆隆（伊比利亚半岛西南部）的总共10个物种，并补充了来自近期研究航次的新分布数据、生态说明以及一种新物种——弯角大西洋仿伪形等足虫（Atlantapseudes curvatus sp. nov.）的描述。自最初描述以来，首次记录到阿索雷斯伪球等足虫（Pseudosphyrapus azorensis）和单节弗氏等足虫（Francapseudes uniarticulatus）。文中还包括了塞贡扎克氏利维等足虫（Leviapseudes segonzaci）的形态发育笔记以及单节弗氏等足虫的种内变异情况，并配有插图以及来自加的斯湾的材料描述，以补充先前的描述。
