Appearance
Adults have no eyes, and are missing the last segment of the first pereiopod, which is therefore unable to form a claw. They also have reduced gills and mouthparts, and no exopods on the pereiopods. The carapace is enlarged, and forms a tall rostrum.Distribution
''P. microphthalma'' is rare, with only 35 specimens counted in a 1985 review. Although very poorly known, the distribution of ''Physetocaris'' appears to be very wide. In addition to specimens from both western and eastern parts of the Atlantic Ocean, it has been found in the southern Pacific Ocean.References:
