Conflict of interest: The authors declare that they have no confl icts of interest.
Data availability: The holotype and paratypes are deposited in the crustacean collections of the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum Frankfurt, Germany, under the collection registration numbers SMF62023–62028.A DELTA taxonomic database is publicly available via the Zenodo repository (Riehl et al. ).The three-dimensional (3D) micro-computed tomography (µCT) data of the holotype are publicly available via the Zenodo repository (Riehl et al. ). They serve as a cybertype—a digital twin of the physical holotype. The 3D model enables detailed virtual examination, morphological analysis, and taxonomic comparison, supporting open and reproducible taxonomy in accordance with current best practices in cyber-taxonomy.Sequence data are archived on GenBank (Benson et al. ) under the accession numbers PX959544 (SMF 62023) and PX959545 (SMF 62024). The multiple sequence alignment used is available via Zenodo (Gallagher et al. ).
