Scottoecia villosa sp. nov., a new deep-sea species of halocyprid (Ostracoda, Myodocopa) from the northern Pacific

A new species of halocyprid ostracod, Scottoecia villosa sp. nov., from the bathypelagic zone of the Kurile-Kamchatka Trench, is described and illustrated. This species is closely similar to S. foveolata (Deevey, 1968), but differs by the shape of the postero-dorsal corners of the carapace, the carapace sculpture, the number of secondary filaments on the first antenna, and the setae on the first endopodite segment of the maxilla. A key to the species of the genus Scottoecia is presented.
