The five species with seven large carapace spines that were previously assigned to the genus Bathyconchoecia are re-classified
in a new genus Septemoecia. Septemoecia longispinata (Ellis, 1987) (new combination) is designated as the type
species. The previously unknown adult female of S. georgei (Kornicker & Rudjakov, 2004) (new combination) and adults
of S. septemspinosa (Angel, 1970) (new combination) are described. Meristic and zoogeographical data are presented and
a key to the species based on external carapace characters is provided.
