Boreomysis (Boreomysis)
G. O.
Sars, 1869
Type
species
.
Mysis arctica
Krøyer, 1861
.
Diagnosis
. Anterior margin of carapace with distinct rostrum and large ventrolateral projections. Eyes with dorsolaterally flattened, oval, nearly rounded or occasionally reduced cornea. Pereopod propodus 2-segmented (except in
B. dubia
).
Distribution and habitat
. Cosmopolitan. Epi-bathypelagic (
0–6000 m
).
DNA divergence
. The mtDNA COI gene divergence between all the studied species of the subgenus
Boreomysis
sensu stricto
was 16–54% of model corrected distance. The divergence between
Boreomysis
sensu stricto
and
Petryashovia
subgen. nov.
was 57–84%.
Composition
. The subgenus
Boreomysis
sensu stricto
includes 34 species (
Table 1
). Among them three species have so far been discovered in the Australian deep waters:
Boreomysis (Boreomysis) inopinata
sp. nov.
,
Boreomysis (Boreomysis) sibogae
, and
Boreomysis (Boreomysis) sphaerops
