Abstract
Leucothoid amphipods in the genus Paranamixis Schellenberg, 1938 exhibit two morphologies: pre-transformational leucomorphs and post-transformational anamorphs. The previously unknown leucomorph stage of Paranamixis misakiensis Thomas, 1997 is described. The connection of the leucomorph lifestage to the anamorph lifestage is confirmed via collection from a sponge host in Nabeta Bay, Shimoda, Izu Peninsula, Japan and with nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA sequences.
