Abstract

A new species Melanostigma lazarevi sp. n. is described from the D’Urville Sea (Southern Ocean). This species differs from the other species of the genus Melanostigma in an original combination of the characters, particular, in the structure of the lateral line system on the head (interruption in supratemporal commissure with the loss of medial segments, absence of pores and the presence of two (instead one) segments in the temporal canal), coloration and some meristic characters of the axial skeleton.
