| Abstract: | This is the first report of a Stellicola in the Atlantic Ocean. Members of the genus had previously been found only in the Indo-Pacific. A new species, Stellicola hochbergi, is described and compared with S. caeruleus (Stebbing, 1900), S. femineus Humes & Ho, 1967, S. illgi Humes & Stock, 1973, and S. novaecaledoniae Humes, 1976. Stellicola hochbergi may be distinguished from its congeners by: a) endopod of leg 4 with formula of 0–1; II, 1; b) third segment of the exopod of leg 3 with formula of III,I,5; c) genital segment with two dorsal elevations; d) free segment of leg 5 more than 3:1; and e) genital segment much wider than long (135 × 220 µm). |
