Description
Type material remarks: The adult male holotype ( SMF 56475), despite being less intact than the adult male paratype ( SMF 56301), was selected as such, based on the availability of a molecular barcode, which the male paratype lacks. When compared to known congeners, the pleopod 1 shape of the type material at hand presumably represents an adult male, but no terminal male stage. The pleopod 1 morphology is, therefore, most likely not fully developed and, thus, not included in the species diagnosis. As the holotype lacks the distal articles of antenna 2 beyond article 5, all antenna 2 characters have been scored based on the male paratype.
Description of the adult male holotype ( SMF 56475)
Body (Fig. 21 View Figure 21 A and Fig. 22 View Figure 22 A) length 1.6 mm, 2.1 width; oval, dorsoventrally elliptical. Anterior body length (Ceph + Prn 1–4) 0.90 posterior body length (Prn 5 – Plt). Lateral margin continuous; delicately serrated, setose from Prn 1 posterolateral margin through to Prn 5 anterolateral margin.

Diagnosis
Similar to Mastigoniscus latus ( Birstein, 1971) , but differing in the following characters: body size up to 1.6 mm (2.1–2.2 mm in M. latus ), dorsoventrally elliptical (dorsomedially vaulted, laterally flattened). Pleotelson anteriorly rectangular, caudally tapering to obtuse point (rounded). Antenna 2 article 3 dorsal projection curved (straight); article 6 with two short, acute distal projections (without distal projections).
Molecular Diagnosis: This species can be distinguished from Mastigoniscus latus ( Birstein, 1971) , the sole other congeneric species in the KKT region, on the basis of the following combination of mtDNA 16 S rRNA gene nucleotide substitutions: G (31), C (35), T (52), C (60), C (62), G (66), G (67), A (68), C (81), G (98), A (102), T (104), A (107), G (108), G (109), G (110), G (140), C (142), G (144), C (145), G (146), C (147), G (151), A (152), A (153), G (154), A (156), G (157), G (163), A (164), C (168), G (178), C (181), C (185), G (191), T (207), C (214), A (220), G (223), A (226), A (229), A (234), G (235), C (241), A (246), C (247), A (249), T (259), T (260), T (268), T (273) and G (448). The following combination of mtDNA COI rRNA gene nucleotide substitutions allow for further distinction: A (85), A (136), A (148), A (169), A (172), A (173), A (181), A (211), A (244), C (106), C (109), C (115), C (118), C (121), C (157), C (160), C (175), C (181), C (184), C (211), C (253), C (304), C (328), C (337), C (340), C (358), C (376), C (379), C (388), C (412), C (424), C (433), C (436), C (457), C (463), C (472), G (241), G (280), G (283), G (184), T (316), T (322), T (217) and T (238).
Etymology
The Latin adjective minimus (" smallest ") refers to the small body size of this species in comparison to its known congeners.
Distribution
Northwest Pacific Ocean, Kuril-Kamchatka Trench and adjacent abyssal regions to the southeast, 5136 – 7081 m.
Taxon discussion
Mastigoniscus minimus Wenz, Knauber & Riehl , sp. nov. represents the third species known of this genus from the Northwest Pacific, alongside M. microcephalus (Gamó, 1989) and M. latus ( Birstein, 1971) . Mastigoniscus minimus reportedly occurs in sympatry with M. latus in the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench. All three of these Northwest Pacific species have a broad and relatively short habitus with a broadly rounded pleotelson and small posterolateral processes in common. Their shared morphology and geographical distribution set them apart from the remaining species in the genus, indicating a sub-group within the genus. With body lengths of up to 1.6 mm, M. minimus Wenz, Knauber & Riehl , sp. nov. represents the smallest Mastigoniscus species known yet, as adult specimens of most species usually reach body lengths beyond 2 mm.
When comparing Mastigoniscus minimus Wenz, Knauber & Riehl , sp. nov. to the original description and new material of Mastigoniscus latus ( Birstein, 1971) , it became evident that the specimen depicted in the original description represents an adult male, but not the terminal male stage. However, a terminal male specimen ( SMF 56420) was present amongst our newly-collected material (see Knauber et al. (2022)). It differs from the specimen depicted by Birstein (1971) – amongst other characters – in a wider, less trapezoidal shape of the cephalothorax, the posterolateral pleotelson processes less protruding and the distal half of the first pleopods resembling the habitus of other known congeners. A thorough re-description of Mastigoniscus latus seems therefore necessary.
Notes
Methods
This study is based on collection material and molecular sequence information that has been previously published elsewhere (see Knauber et al. (2022) for details). Specimens are deposited at the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. Associated (meta-) data are stored in the Barcode of Life Data System ( BOLD System, Ratnasingham and Hebert (2007)) available at https://doi.org/10.5883/DS-NWPHA22, GenBank ( Benson et al. 2012) accession numbers OM 782626 View Materials to OM 782641 View Materials ; Ocean Biogeographic Information System ( OBIS, Grassle 2000) available at https://ipt.iobis.org/obis-deepsea/resource?r=deep-sea_haploniscid_isopods; and Zenodo ( European Organization For Nuclear Research and OpenAIRE 2013) available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6553796.
Material was collected during the KuramBio II (Kuril Kamchatka Biodiversity Studies II, Brandt (2016)) campaign on board RV Sonne to the Northwest Pacific Ocean. Box corer (BC; Hessler and Jumars (1974)), Agassiz trawl ( AGT; Agassiz (1880)) and epibenthic sledge ( EBS; Brenke (2005), Brandt et al. (2013)) were used. Samples were processed on board following Riehl et al. (2014 b).
Using a Leica M 60 stereomicroscope, an adult male was selected as holotype and an adult female as paratype following recent examples ( Brökeland and Raupach 2008, Brökeland 2010, Brökeland and Svavarsson 2017). For drawings, a Leica DM 2500 LED with camera lucida was used. Damage-free transfer of specimens from ethanol to glycerine followed Knauber et al. (2022). Temporary slides were prepared following Wilson (2008). Pencil drawings were digitally traced with Adobe Illustrator 27.2 ( Coleman 2003).
While in glycerine, specimens were stained using Congo Red dissolved in 70 % denatured EtOH following Michels and Büntzow (2010) for Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy ( CLSM) using a Leica DM 2500 with a Leica TCS SPE II and LEICA LAS X 3.5. 5.19976. Post-production of CLSM-scans was carried out in Adobe Photoshop 24.1. 1 and Adobe Illustrator 27.2. Measurements followed the standards of Hessler (1970).
In the description, all appendages’ article-length ratios are given in proximal to distal order, excluding setae. Many ratios are used for descriptions in this paper. To avoid multiple repetition of the word ‘ times, ’ these are reported as a multiplier of an object of a telegraphic phrase to indicate the size of the subject of the phrase. For example, ‘ endopod length 2.2 width’ means ‘ the length of the endopod is 2.2 times its width. ’ This example is mathematically equivalent to the equation ‘ L = 2.2 W’. Dependent object clauses, separated off by a comma, do not repeat the subject. Descriptions of pereopod setae are provided in proximal to distal and lateral to medial order of description.
Morphological terminology was based on Brökeland and Svavarsson (2017) with modifications. Setae were named after Riehl and Brandt (2010). The molecular diagnosis was prepared using the online-tool DeSigNate ( Hütter et al. 2020), only focusing on base positions with a discriminative power of 1.0.
