Description
Summary:Abstract Scaphodactylus , a New Stenothoid Genus from the Sublittoral of South Shetland Islands (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Gammaridea) The new genus Scaphodactylus and the species Scaphodactylus gigantocheirus are described and the systematic position is discussed. The study is based on material collected in the upper sublittoral of King George Island (1991) and in the deeper sublittoral near Elephant Island (POLARSTERN cruise VI, 1985/86). The new genus is closely related to Torometopa B ARNARD & K ARAMAN , 1987. Additional morphological remarks are given on Scaphodactylus foliodactylus (R AUSCHERT , 1990).
