The deep-sea shrimps generally inhabit waters deeper than 1000 m deep. Recent deep-sea cruises off Taiwan collected two species of Bate, 1881 from the abyssal depths greater than 3,000 m. They are Bate, 1881 and Rathbun, 1906. Both of them are new records for Taiwan, with also representing the deepest (5,314 m) marine animal so far known for the island. The major distinguishing characters of these two species are described and illustrated.
深海虾类一般栖息于深度超过1000米的水域。最近在台湾近海进行的深海巡航考察在深度超过3000米的深渊区域采集到了两种1881年由贝特描述的虾类。它们分别是1881年的贝特虾和1906年的拉思本虾。这两种虾对于台湾来说均为新记录,同时也代表了该岛目前已知的最深(5314米)海洋动物。文中描述并说明了这两个物种的主要鉴别特征。
