Abstract
An extensive collection of marine isopods from the Peabody Museum, Yal e University, taken from 114 collecting stations on Bermuda, is report ed. The collection adds 10 new records to the list of known Bermudan i sopods, including two undescribed species, Mesanthura bermudensis and Joeropsis nigricapitis. These two species can be recognized initially by their distinctive pigment patterns. Fresh material shows Anthomuda stenotelson Schultz to be a junior synonym of Anthelura affinis Richar dson. Also included in the report are the descriptions of two new spec ies collected from a cave, Munnogonium somersensis and Stenobermuda il iffei. The latter, which exhibits protogynous hermaphroditism, is show n to be a member of the Gnathostenetroididae.
