Paramysis bakuensis

Paramysis bakuensis is a species of mysid crustacean from the family Mysidae, named by the locality from where it was originally described, the town of Baku in Azerbaijan by the Caspian Sea.

[1] After the description by Norwegian carcinologist Georg Ossian Sars, the species was mentioned only twice among the mysids of the Sea of Azov basin, but soon synonymized with Paramysis baeri.

[2] In 60 years it was rediscovered while combined morphological and molecular revision of P. baeri, restored and redescribed.

[3] Paramysis bakuensis is a coastal sublittoral species in the sea, found at the depth below 10 m (33 ft), preferably on sandy or sandy-muddy bottom.

Can be distinguished from P. baeri by wide, but not wider than long exopod of maxilla 2, smooth paradactylar claw-setae of pereiopods 6 and other characters.
