andeepia_ingridae_250.jpgThe CeDAMar project ANDEEP is now preserved for a long time- as name for a genus of amphipods! Amphipods are a very diverse, common group of shrimplike crustaceans. This genus has two very peculiar looking legs in the front of its thorax, called gnathopods ("jaw feet") because they aid in handling food items (marked in fuchsia in the figure). Much of the diagnostic set of characters for the new genus is in the distribution of setae along the legs, something only a specialist can see under the microscope. The species was collected in the Southern Ocean in about 3000 m depth during the expedition ANDEEP III.
