Abstract

ABSTRACT Bythognathiayucatanensis is described from a single male collected in the Yucatan Channel, Caribbean Sea, at depths greater than those recorded for any other gnathiid, 3,700-3,800 m. The new genus is closely allied to Akidognathia Stebbing, 1912. The pylopod of the new species is unique. A list of nominal species of Gnathiidae described since Monod's 1926 monograph includes type locality, depth of occurrence, and length of each species.
