Abstract

Two species of corophiid amphipods are described from the ‘Lucky Strike’ hydrothermal vent on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near the Açores. One species, Bonnierella compar sp. nov. is new to science, the other, Autonoe longicornis has not been reported since the original description of a single female in 1909. Full descriptions are provided of the new species, and of the previously unknown male of A. longicornis.
