Abstract

The article provides information on amphipods found on two islands of the Lesser Kuril Chain collected during the period from 4 to 19 August 2013 in the framework of the 49th South Kuril Marine Expedition. A detailed morphological description of prophliantin amphipod Guernea ezoensis Ishimaru, 1987 — the species which has not been presented from Russian waters until now — is provided. The South Kuril specimens differ slightly from the original and accumulative descriptions. The article briefly discusses the issues of intraspecific morphological variability.
