New bathyal and abyssal arcturids from the western Antarctic and Subantarctic (Crustacea: Isopoda: Arcturidae)
O.G. Kussakin & G.S. Vasina
Abstract. Chaetarcturus tenuispinatus sp. n., Acantharcturus brevipleon sp. n. and Glaberarcturus stellae gen. et sp. n. are described from bathyal off the Falkand Islands. Tuberarcturus pallidoculus sp. n. from bathyal off the South Sandwich Islands, and Neoarcturus paxillaris sp. n. from low abyssal of the Argentine Basin. Glaberarcturus is allied to the Neoarcturus group of genera because of the short 3-jointed antennal flagellum but is distinguished by the characteristically cleft pleotelson, absence of eyes and lack of dorsal spines or tubercles on pereonal segments and pleotelson.
