Rhachotropis oweni sp. nov. is named after Owen Anderson, acknowledging his contribution and dedication to New Zealand’s deep-sea fauna.</p><p>Diagnosis. Body delicate, ornamented. Rostrum short. Eyes present, bulging laterally. Humps on head and pereonites. Pereonite 7 nearly as long as body. Pleonite 1 bearing dorsolateral pointed processes, dorsally smooth. Pleonite 2 and 3 bearing dorsolateral pointed processes, and short pointed middorsal process. Telson cleft 10 %, triangular, long and narrow.</p><p>Description. Antenna 1 and 2 equal in length. Antenna 1 article 2 slightly shorter than article 1, 2.5 times as long as article 3; flagellum 10-articulate. Antenna 2 peduncle article 4 and 5 subequal in length, several plumose setae on third article; flagellum 15-articulate.</p><p>Mandible with incisor process well developed; lacinia mobilis denticulate; molar process conical; palp article 1 short, about one-third length of article 2, articles 2 and 3 with long slender setae, article 3 nearly as long as article 2.</p><p>Maxilla 1 inner plate bearing 2 subterminal plumose seta; outer plate with 9 denticulate spines; article 1 of palp with long setae at outer margin, palp article 2 with several slender setae at tip.</p><p>Maxilla 2 inner and outer plate subequal in length, margins bearing stout and slender setae; inner plate slightly wider than outer plate.</p><p>Maxilliped outer plate 2.5 times as long as inner plate, reaching half of article 2 of maxillipedal palp. Hypopharynx setose, outer lobes separated by broad gap.</p><p>Gnathopods similar in shape, subchelate. Gnathopod 1 slightly smaller than gnathopod 2. Gnathopod 1 coxa 1– 4 subquadrate. Gnathopod 1 basis bearing several small spines at anteroventral corner; ischium and merus long setae at posteroventral corner; carpus lobe extending width of propodus, spines at terminal end of lobe; propodus broad, oval; dactylus slender, reaching end of palm.</p><p>Pereopods 3 and 4 articles long and narrow; carpus, propodus and dactylus similar in length. Pereopod 5 basis with acute posterior margin; pereopod 6 basis similar triangular shape. Pereopod 5 and 6 long, merus slightly inflated. Pereopod 7 longer than pereopod 5 and 6; basis with large rounded extension posteriorly; merus posteroventral angle produced; propodus same length as carpus.</p><p>Pleopod 2 (right side) rami with 16 and 21 articles, respectively; rami 1.5 times as long as peduncle.</p><p>Uropod 1 rami shorter than peduncle, outer rami slightly shorter than inner rami. Uropod 2 rami same length; peduncle shorter than ramus. Uropod 3 rami longer than peduncle, inner rami slightly longer than outer rami. Telson more than three times as long as wide, cleft 10%.</p><p>Colour. Eyes cream/white; body light orange; gnathopods dark red.</p><p>Distribution. New Zealand, Kermadec Ridge and Chatham Rise, 821– 927 m.</p><p>Remarks. Rhachotropis oweni sp. nov. from New Zealand differs from all other 60 Rhachotropis species by the combination of following characters: long dorsolateral projections on pereonites 1–3; pereonite 1 dorsally smooth; eyes present; mid-dorsal protuberances on head and pleonites; unproduced coxa 1, pleopod 5 and 6 basis triangular, pereopod 7 basis with large rounded extension.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038087A2FFDBAD67AEFFFD596B43BC5F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
