Description
Summary:Abstract A new species of the genus Paralomis, Paral-omis elongata, has been collected from the Spiess se-amount near Bouvet Island in the Southern Ocean. The species shows close affinity with P. anamerae Macpher-son, 1988, from the Patagonian Shelf, P. africana Mac-pherson, 1987, from the south-western African shelf, and P. aculeata Henderson, 1888, from Crozet Islands. Morphological differences among the species and eco-logical characteristics are discussed.
