WHOI 321, epibenthic sled, 2890– 2868 m (ZMUC CRU9876). Paratypes: male (3.1 mm), same data as holotype (ZMUC CRU9877); 68 specimens including males, females, mancae and 1 intersex, same data as holotype (AM P 72122); adult male (4.4 mm) same data as holotype (dissected, mouthparts on slide, AM P 72121); preparatory female, same data as holotype (SEM stub AW573, AM P 72245); preparatory female, same data as holotype (SEM stub AW574, AM P 72246). Remarks on type material. Several specimens in this lot showed developmental oddities. One large specimen that had the female form and obvious pores to the spermathecal ducts, also had somewhat distorted male pleopods. Various asellote species are known to have facultative sex determination, but we suspect that this individual was only a single aberration, perhaps caused by a parasite. Three adult specimens had pereopods in the middle of the pereon that were in a rudimentary state, similar to the limbs of a manca III. Apparently, these limbs were being regenerated in subsequent molts. This species thus shows an ability to lose and regenerate limbs, perhaps as a predation escape mechanism. If the isopod needed to lose a limb, the break could occur at the thin neck between the shaft of the basis and the coxa. Diagnosis Pereonite 2 in female with no median dorsal spine or tubercle.
