The genus Kunkel, 1910 comprises a total of six species around the world, with circumtropical and subtropical distribution, commonly occurring in shallow waters, in soft bottoms and algae, including a previous record of (Shoemaker, 1933) from Brazil. Material examined was collected by SCUBA diving, from rhodolith beds, 12 meters deep, at the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, off the northeastern Brazilian coast. The new Brazilian species described here can be diagnosed by a unique combination of character states present in other species of the genus. However, it has two exclusive characteristics, distinguishing it from the group: medial apex of pleopod 3 peduncle with two small hook setae, and uropod 1 peduncle not exceeding the apex of telson.
昆克尔属（Kunkel，1910）在全球共有六个物种，分布于热带和亚热带地区，常见于浅水区、软底质区域及藻类中，其中包括此前（休梅克，1933年）记录的来自巴西的物种。所研究的标本是通过水肺潜水从巴西东北海岸外费尔南多·迪诺罗尼亚群岛12米深处的钙藻层采集的。这里描述的巴西新物种可通过该属其他物种所具有的独特性状组合来鉴别。然而，它有两个独特特征，使其与该类群的其他物种区分开来：第三腹足柄节的内侧顶端有两根小钩状刚毛，且第一尾足柄节不超过尾节顶端。
