Description of Globarcturus angelikae gen. et sp. n., the first Antarctic hadal arcturid from the South Sandwich Trench (Crustacea, Isopoda: Arcturidae)

O.G. Kussakin & G.S. Vasina

Abstract. The genus Globarcturus is clearly distinguished from other genera of the Antarcturus group with multiarticulate flagellum of antenna 2 by combination of such characters as the bulbous pleotelson, presence of a distinct suture between pleonites 1 and 2, lack of eyes, and dorsal, supracoxal and caudal spines. G. angelikae sp. n. is the first representive of arcturid in the hadal zone of Antarctic.
