Two new species of paratanaoid tanaidaceans of the family incertae sedis (Crustacea: Peracarida) from polymetallic nodule fields in the eastern Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone.

This study describes a new genus and two new species of Tanaidacea that were collected from the Singaporean exploratory area (OMS) of the polymetallic nodule fields in the eastern end of the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone, Pacific Ocean. The descriptions are based on material collected during the research cruise ABYSSLINE II, which was conducted in the year 2015, covering abyssal depths of 4041-4227 m. These new species are paratanaoideans belonging to the genera Unispinosus n. gen. and Portaratrum Guerrero-Kommritz, 2003 of the family incertae sedis.
