In examining the amphipod fauna of the Loki’s Castle hydrothermal vent in the north Norwegian Sea, one new species of Oedicerotidae was discovered. This paper describes Monoculodes bousfieldi sp. n. (Amphipoda, Oedicerotidae) and includes a short discussion of the blind Monoculodes, as well as a key to this subset of the oedicerotids. The description is based on morphology in addition to a sequence of the mitochondrial gene COI (Folmer section). A short discussion on the isotopesignature, giving indications of this species food choice and position in the hydrothermal vent food-web is included.
