| Summary: | Belonectes stoddarti sp. nov. (Figs 8–10) Material examined. Holotype. male (2.0 mm), ZMH K- 42037, ANDEEP III St. 80 – 9 –E, 23 February 2005, 70° 38.45 ’ – 39.18 ’S, 14 ° 42.86 ’ – 43.43 ’W, 3100 m. Paratypes. ZMH K- 42038, juvenile specimen (1.2 mm), same data as holotype. Etymology. The species is named after marine biologist Michael Stoddart from Tasmania who has established and implemented the Census of the Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) within SCAR (Scientific Committee of Antarctic Research). Description. Body (Fig. 8) with fingerprint pattern on strong cuticle. Body length 2.4 width, height 0.35 length. Head length 0.4 width, length behind antennula insertion 0.2 antennula article 1 length; rostrum length 0.9 head length. Rostrum terminal width 0.7 basal width, rostrum basal width 2 times basal width of antennula. Cephalic keel expressed, clypeus 1.6 as wide and 0.5 as long as labrum. Pereonite 1 shortest laterally, longest medially, slightly broader than head, length 3.3 head length behind antennular insertions, pereonites 2–4 1.2, 1.3 and 1.3 times longer laterally than pereonite 1 respectively, anterior lobes of coxae of pereonites 1–4 not pronounced in dorsal view, with 2 lateral setae each. Natasome length 0.7 body length, width 1.3 head width; pereonite 5 lateral length equal to lateral length of pereonites 6 and 7 together; pereonites 6 and 7 of same length laterally. Lateral sutures between pereonites 5 and 6 equal in length to fused middle part, ventral bump of pereonite 5 with setae. Pleotelson slightly shorter than wide, length 0.3 body length, preanal ridge rather short, not projected backwards, rounded terminally, shorter than uropodal protopod. Antennula (Fig. 10) incomplete; article 1 reaching 0.7 rostrum length, length 1.3 width, with 1 distal broom seta, article 2 0.6 as long and 0.5 as wide as article 1; article 3 length 0.75 article 2 length, article 4 length 0.5 article 3 length. Antenna incomplete (Fig. 8): article 1 shortest, articles 2–4 subequal in length, scale on article 3 ... |
