abstract

  • Godzilliognomus schrami, a new species of the crustacean class Remipedia, Yager, 1981 is the second species assigned to the genus. The new species, with an average body length of 6.8 mm, was collected from an anchialine cave on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera. Godzilliognomus schrami can be distinguished from the other species in the genus, Godzilliognomus frondosus Yager, 1989 by narrower and less trapezoidal tergites, frontal filaments that differ regarding the shape and insertion of the medial process, and dorsal antennular rami composed of only ten segments.
