Abstract
AbstractCollections of munnopsid isopods of the BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters; 1991–2004) and the IceAGE1 (Icelandic Marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology; since 2011) expeditions included ten species of the genusEurycopeG.O. Sars, 1864, thereof are two species new to science. Thus, the descriptions of the two new species are presented herein.Eurycope elianaesp. n. is distinguished from the other species of the genus mainly by two long, slightly robust, simple setae on the tip of the rostrum in combination with the size and shape of the rostrum itself.E elianaesp. n. shares the presence of two long, slightly robust, simple seta on the tip of the rostrum withE. tumidicarpus. The shape of the rostrum itself is more similar toE. inermisand species of theE. complanatacomplex.E. aculeatasp. n. is characterized by possessing dorsomedial acute projections on pereo-nites 5–7, which is unusual for the genus.E. aculeatasp. n. is most similar toE. cornuta. Both new species are, so far, known only from localities south of the Greenland-Scotland Ridge.
