Iphinoe [Iphinoe]

Description

Iphinoe is a genus of marine cumaceans known for their translucent bodies and preference for deep-sea habitats. These organisms are part of the benthic fauna, contributing to the deep-sea ecosystem by feeding on microorganisms and detritus. Their elongated bodies and reduced appendages are adaptations to life in high-pressure, low-light conditions.
