大王具足蟲屬

大王具足蟲屬（Bathynomus），也称深水虱属、深水蝨屬，是漂水蝨科的一個屬，其下有近20種生物，生活於大西洋、太平洋和印度洋的冰冷深海中。其下最著名的是大王具足蟲，該生物常被稱為最大的等足目生物，但實際上一些同屬生物（如B. kensleyi）也能達到同樣的大小。它們與潮虫亚目生物有較近的親緣關係。 根據其同事亞歷山大·阿加西在墨西哥灣收集的幼年大王具足標本，法國動物學家阿方斯·米勒-愛德華在1879年首次對其進行了科學分類。 本属包括以下物种： 亲密深水虱 Bathynomus affinis Richardson, 1910 Bathynomus brucei Lowry & Dempsey, 2006 Bathynomus bruscai Lowry & Dempsey, 2006 Bathynomus civisi Hyžný, Bajo Campos & Cárdenas Carretero, 2020 Bathynomus crosnieri Lowry & Dempsey, 2006 十刺深水虱 Bathynomus decemspinosus Shih, 1972 道氏深水虱 Bathynomus doederleini Ortmann, 1894 –大具足蟲、道氏深水蝨 巨型深水虱 Bathynomus giganteus A.Milne-Edwards, 1879 –大王具足蟲、巨型深水蝨 Bathynomus immanis Bruce, 1986 詹姆斯深水虱 Bathynomus jamesi Kou, Chen & Li, 2017 –詹姆斯深水蝨 Bathynomus kapala Griffin, 1975 Bathynomus keablei Lowry & Dempsey, 2006 Bathynomus kensleyi Lowry & Dempsey, 2006 Bathynomus kominatoensis Kato & Tokita, 2016 Bathynomus lowryi Bruce & Bussarawit, 2004 Bathynomus maxeyorum Shipley, Brooks & Bruce, 2016 Bathynomus miyarei Lemos de Castro, 1978 Bathynomus obtusus Magalhaes & Young, 2003 Bathynomus pelor Bruce, 1986 Bathynomus propinquus Richardson, 1910 Bathynomus raksasa Sidabalok, Wong & Ng, 2020 Bathynomus richeri Lowry & Dempsey, 2006 Bathynomus sismondai (Ristori, 1891) 猶加敦深水虱 Bathynomus undecimspinosus (Karasawa, Nobuhara & Matsuoka, 1992) –猶加敦深水蝨 Bathynomus yucatanensis Huang, Kawai & Bruce, 2022 Lowry, J.
