The isopod species Syscenus atlanticus Kononenko, 1988, is recorded for the second time, from Bear Seamount off New England, western North Atlantic. The species, previously known only from the central North Atlantic, is redescribed, illustrated, and compared with the more common S. infelix Harger, 1881, which is also redescribed and illustrated. The distribution of S. infelix in a broad arc across the North Atlantic Ocean, based on 171 specimens from several museum collections, is discussed. |
