Abstract

Three species of leptostracan malacostracous Crustacea occur in the Rockall Trough. The epibenthic Nebalia typhlops, previously recorded at depths of 200–500 m in the north Atlantic but to 1100 m in the Mediterranean, was found at depths of 1990–2925 m. The epibenthic Nebaliella caboti, previously recorded in the northwestern Atlantic at depths of 378 and 2085 m, was caught in the Rockall Trough at 1390–29000 m. The pelagic Nebaliopsis typica only occurred in samples from depths greater than 1500 m. A comparative study of the previously recognized species within the Nebaliacea is required.
