Extract

Two new Appendicularians: Inopinata inflata gen. nov., sp. nov. and Mesopelagicn caudaornata gen. nov., sp. nov., from the family Oikopleuridae (Lohmann 1915), subfamily Oikopleurinae (Lohmann 1896a), are described from specimens collected at mesopelagic depths (660–840 m) in Bahamian waters by the ‘Johnson-Sea-Link’ manned submersibles.
