Abstract
We describe Pericelis nivea sp. nov. from sunken wood collected 330 m deep, off the coast of Owase, Japan. This is the first record of Pericelis from the bathyal zone. Unlike other congeners, P. nivea sp. nov. is characterized by the absence of eyespots. We provide a partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene as a DNA barcode for the new species. Phylogenetic analyses based on concatenated sequences of nuclear 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA showed that P. nivea sp. nov. was nested in the clade of Pericelis with high support; however, the relationship between P. nivea sp. nov. and other Pericelis species was unclear.

JMBA is an international journal, publishing original research on all aspects of marine biology. It includes pioneering work taking place today on major issues concerning marine organisms and their environment. Subjects covered include: ecological surveys and population studies of marine communities; physiology and experimental biology; taxonomy, morphology and life history of marine animals and plants; and chemical and physical oceanographic work. Included with 2010 online subscriptions: Marine Biodiversity Records.
