Name
Podoceropsis insinuomanus Jung & Coleman & Yoon, 2019 sp. nov. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Etymology
The composite epithet of the specific name, insinuomanus, is a combination of the Latin words insinuo and manus, meaning sinuous hand. This name refers to the strongly sinuated shape of male gnathopod 2 palmar margin.

Remarks
Podoceropsis insinuomanus sp. nov. is closely related to Podoceropsis barnardi Kudryashov & Tzvetkova, 1975, reported from the southern and western Sakhalin, eastern Russia (Kudryashov and Tzvetkova 1975[1]) and Vancouver, Canada (Conlan 1983[2]), in the similar shape of the palmar margin of male gnathopod 2. However, this new species differs from P. barnardi in the shape of the posterior margin of male pereopod 5 basis, which has a very weak distal extension (well-developed in P. barnardi), biarticulated uropod 3 with the terminal article being vestigial (uniarticulated in P. barnardi) (Kudryashov and Tzvetkova 1975[1]; Conlan 1983[2]).
