The new taxon differs from all species of Leptanthura in the elongate antennular and antennal peduncular articles (compact in Leptanthura), the presence of a strong thumb proximally on the palm of pereopod 1 (typically a square angle in Leptanthura), and on pereopod 2 (never seen in Leptanthura), an especially long pre-palm fl exor margin on pereopod 3 (absent or short in Leptanthura), and a narrow uropodal exopod (few exceptions in Leptanthura). This is the fi rst leptanthurid from non-marine environments outside the Atlantic.

The species and authorities are listed. Only the very general distribution is presented, the depth range (if more than one sample) is provided for all species. KEYWORDS: Isopoda, checklist, North Atlantic, deep sea, >2000 m. Introduction A first checklist of isopods from bathyal to abyssal depths in the Atlantic Ocean (in the north and south below 2000 m) was published by MENZIES (1962). Since then, new species were described, and many were synonymised. Therefore an update of this checklist was necessary for the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, especially for scientists working in the European and Russian Arctic. This checklist only comprises those papers in which new species are described and the gross geographic area where these species were first recorded. The reference list accordingly presents those papers in which new species are described living below 2000 m depth. The inclusion of all references dealing with the listed species would exceed the scope of this paper. The new species described in the papers by GEORGE (2001, 2003, 2004) have to be treated with care. Some of the species described in these papers will have to be synonymized (BROKELAND, KAISER, WILSON, pers.

The new taxon differs from all species of Leptanthura in the elongate antennular and antennal peduncular articles (compact in Leptanthura), the presence of a strong thumb proximally on the palm of pereopod 1 (typically a square angle in Leptanthura), and on pereopod 2 (never seen in Leptanthura), an especially long pre-palm fl exor margin on pereopod 3 (absent or short in Leptanthura), and a narrow uropodal exopod (few exceptions in Leptanthura).
