Metopa gigas sp. nov. from southern Greenland, a giant among congeners (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Stenothoidae)
Metopa gigas sp. nov. is described from southern Greenland (east and west). This new species which reaches a length of around 20 mm is, together with M. mirifica Gurjanova, 1948 from the North Pacific, by far the largest member of the ge-nus. The species is easily separated from sympatric Metopa cly...
