Xenomeiropsis [Xenomeiropsis]

Description

Xenomeiropsis is a genus of marine copepods in the family Ameiridae, distinguished by its unique body shape and appendage morphology. These copepods are often found in deep-sea habitats, where they inhabit the water column or the deep-sea floor, feeding on detritus and microorganisms. The specialized body and limb structures of Xenomeiropsis species enable them to capture and consume a variety of food sources in the challenging deep-sea environment.
