Abstract

We have identified a new isopod species, from the genus Orthometopon, among specimens collected from Sacalin Island, Portita and Grindul Lupilor, during research performed in the Danube Delta (Dobrogea region). We named this species Orthometopon romanicus n. sp. The present paper describes the species’ characters.
