Conchoecissa squamosa (Müller, G.W., 1906)
Records: 15

A large species with a carapace highly ornamented with rectangular sculpture, but lacks the developments of the spines at the posterior dorsal corners of the carapace valves and of the rostral processes seen in other members of the genus. It has been reported infrequently from widespread regions of the global ocean, including one station well south of the Polar Front in the Southern Ocean.
