摘要
A new species of aorid amphipod, Bemlos seisuiaesp. nov., is described from deep muddy bottom off Tanabe Bay, Japan. The new species is characterized by its conspicuously slender and elongated pereopods 3-6. The aorids reported from deep water are reviewed, and their morphological adaptations to deep water are discussed.
