Abstract | The new genus and species. Boreotuntulus kunzi, is described from Cylindropsyllus laevis, caught off the isle of Bonden, Bohaslän, Skagerrak. It is placed in the Deoterthridae on the basis of its larval characters. It can be distinguished form other genera by the presence of a distinct praecoxal segment carrying the endite on larval thoracopods2 to 5. This is the second tantulocaridan to be recorded in Scandinavian waters. |
