A new species of Isocyamus (Amphipoda: Cyamidae) from Kogia breviceps (De Blainville, 1838) in Australian waters
Isocyamus kogiae n. sp. is described from a pygmy sperm whale Kogia breviceps (De Blainville, 1838) stranded on Moreton Island, Queensland, Australia. It belongs in the genus Isocyamus because of its white appearance, epaulette-like processes at the anterior dorsum of pereon segment 2, lateral spine...
