Abstract
A new Mysidacea, Bacescomysis papilio, with a unique, supernumerary complement of sensilla on the antennules, is described from the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (4848 m) in the North‐East Atlantic. Comparisons are made with the species of Bacescomysis and of the related genus Hansenomysis. Biological and biogeographical remarks on these two genera are provided, i.e. role of antennule, adaptations to deep water, and correlations between depth range of species and latitude.
