| description | <i>Eurycope producta</i> Sars, 1868 is a highly abundant and widely distributed munnopsid species complex within Icelandic waters. The complex differs from all other <i>Eurycope</i> Sars, 1864 species by having a broad and long rostrum with serrated margins, which is subequal in length and width to article 1 of antenna I. Previous molecular evidence to disentangle the <i>E. producta</i> species complex forms the base for the herein-presented taxonomic description of six new species belonging to the genus <i>Eurycope</i>. Additionally, descriptions of specimens of <i>E. producta</i> sensu stricto and <i>E. dahli</i> Svavarsson, 1987, which were included in the analyses, are presented herein for morphological comparison with the new species. The studied species can be divided in two subgroups: (1) <i>E. producta</i> sensu stricto, <i>E. dahli</i>, <i>E. mishkai</i> sp. nov., and <i>E. nikitai</i> sp. nov. and (2) <i>E. gordeyi</i> sp. nov.<i>, E. emmae</i> sp. nov., <i>E. jakobi</i> sp. nov., and <i>E. mathiasi</i> sp. nov. Additionally, a key to the eight studied species of the complex is presented. |
