Abstract

Within an amphipod collection from Bora Bora (Polynesia) several species of Elasmopus were found: E. alalo Myers, 1986, E. hawaiensis Schellenberg, 1938, E. hooheno Barnard, 1970 and E. polynesus sp. nov. Among them was also a second member of Carangoliopsidae, known until now only by one genus with one single species: here is presented another species in a new genus, Kairos segregans gen. nov., sp. nov.
