Crustacea Isopoda Haploniscidae Antennuloniscus deep sea Southern Ocean

Abstract

The genus Antennuloniscus is rediagnosed and discussed. Antennuloniscus ornatus Menzies, 1962 and A. armatus Menzies, 1962 are redescribed and A. latoperculus n. sp. is described from material obtained from the Southern Ocean.
