Microcope gen. nov.—a new deep-sea genus of Munnopsidae (Crustacea, Isopoda, Asellota), with description of two new species from the Southern Hemisphere
A new genus of Munnopsidae Lilljeborg, Microcope gen. nov., is described including Eurycope ovata Birstein, 1970 from the northwestern Pacific, and two new species, collected in the Cape Basin, and Atlantic Sector of the Southern Ocean. The new genus combines characters common for some genera of Eur...
