Abstract
Boreomysis oparva is described from near-bottom low oxygen waters surr ounding an inactive seamount, Volcano 7. It is characterized by an upt urned rostrum, large eyes without papillae, and a male pleopod 3 exopo d with 3 spiniform setae on each of the last eight segments. It is abu ndant slightly below the seamount summit in near-bottom low oxygen wat er, but absent from water near the seamount base (with higher oxygen) and from low oxygen pelagic waters.
