Abstract

A wealth of shallow-water amphipod material was obtained during a 12-year survey (2012-2024) in the remote volcanic archipelago Trindade and Martin Vaz (TMV), located some 1200 km off the southeastern Brazilian coast. Three new species from Trindade Island in the genera Colomastix Grube, 1861 (Colomastigidae Chevreux, 1899), Pariphinotus Kunkel, 1910 (Phliantidae Stebbing, 1899) and Eusiroides Stebbing, 1888 (Pontogeneiidae Stebbing, 1906) were recently described, bringing the number of amphipod species from TMV to thirteen. Here we report on five new species from Trindade, three Aoridae Stebbing, 1899 (Bemlos myersi sp. nov., Globosolembos trindadensis sp. nov., Lembos quadrispinosus sp. nov.), and two Photidae Boeck, 1871 (Latigammaropsis oliveirai sp. nov., Latigammaropsis savioi sp. nov.).
