| Abstract |
Cirolana mclaughlinae n. sp. is described from specimens collected in the Ross
Sea, Antarctica. Th e species is characterised by the head having a prominent
anterior marginal ridge, lacking a rostrum, and being dorsally depressed; the
posterior submarginal surfaces of pereonites 5-7 and the pleonites are nodulose
and pitted; the pleotelson has weakly concave lateral margins converging to a
narrowly rounded apex, the dorsal surface is provided with a low, longitudinal
median ridge. Th e genus has a world-wide distribution, but has hitherto not
been recorded from polar waters, the previous most southerly record being at
about 44°S. |
