A new species of giant isopod!

A team of scientists have discovered this new species with a distinctly rectangular face (clypeal region) and a different pleotelson structure, Bathynomus vaderi, about 50 nautical miles from the coast of Quy Nhơn City, in south-central Vietnam. It belongs to the super-giant class of the genus, with the male holotype being a staggering 266 mm (ca. 10.47 in) in lenght! There are currently no known female specimens.

It is named after the Star Wars character Darth Vader, since its face resembles Vader's helmet. [1]

So here it is, in all its glory: [2]

What an amazing way to start the new year!

It's also definitely worth checking out the article itself, as it not only discusses the anatomy of the isopod itself further, but also provides some interesting remarks on Bathynomus fishery.
