Diagnosis
Anchimolgus abbreviatus may be readily distinguished from all congeners by two features: (1) the postgenital segment immediately anterior to the anal segment being distinctly shorter than the other postgenital segments and (2) the third segment of the exopod of leg 4 having a small notch on its proximal outer edge.
