Abstract

Read the rest (2 more)

A new monotypic genus within the family Lepechinellidae is described from the deep-sea Clarion-Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean. Pseudolepechinella gen. nov. is distinguished from the other five genera within the family by the rounded / ovoid propodus of the gnathopods, and the unusually short and broadened basis, distally expanded propodus and shortened robust dactyls of the pereopods. The new species is described from two specimens collected more than 180 km apart yet having a 100 % COI barcode match.

A revised key to the genera within the family is provided.
