Abstract

A new species of the genus Litarcturus Brandt, 1990, L. kexueiae sp. nov., collected from deep sea of the Okinawa Trough, is described and illustrated. It is readily distinguished from the other seven species of the genus by bearing long supraoc-ular spines about as long as the head and posterolateral pleotelsonic spines overreaching the pleotelson apex.
