Galatheacaris abyssalis is a rare species of shrimp now thought to be a larval stage of another genus Eugonatonotus.It was described in 1997 on the basis of a single specimen caught in the Celebes Sea at a depth of 5000 metres (16000 ft). It was seen to be so different from previously known shrimp species that a new family Galatheacarididae and superfamily Galatheacaridoidea were erected for it.
