A new isopod species from the Southern Ocean: Disparella maiuscula sp. nov.(Isopoda: Asellota: Desmosomatidae)

Mitt. hamb. zool. Mus. Inst., 102:153-165.

Disparella maiuscula sp. nov. from the Southern Ocean is the second record of this genus from the region besides Disparella longimana (VANHOFFEN, 1914). The new species can be distinguished from all other species of Disparella HESSLER, 1970 by the length of the cephalic spines and the longer uropods. Further differences are the setation of the first pereopod: seven small setae on the ventral margin of the carpus; and the strongly concave posterior margin of the fifth pereonite.
