Eriopisidae is a widespread amphipod family, whose members have subcylindrical bodies, often do not have eyes, showing elongate third uropods in which the endopod is reduced and the exopod can become very long. This is the first record of Eriopisidae from Central America. Here, we describe the new genus and species Panamapisa guaymii gen. nov., sp. nov. from Bocas del Toro, Panama. The taxon differs from other members of the family in having a greatly enlarged merus on gnathopod 1, marginal setae on the dactyls of pereopod 5 to 7 and a third uropod nearly as long as the body.
Eriopisidae 是一个广泛分布的端足目科，其成员具有亚圆柱形的身体，通常没有眼睛，第三对尾足伸长，其中内肢缩小，外肢可以变得非常长。这是 Eriopisidae 科在中美洲的首次记录。在这里，我们描述了来自巴拿马博卡斯德尔托罗的新属和新种 Panamapisa guaymii gen. nov., sp. nov.。该分类单元与该科的其他成员不同，其 1 对大颚足的桡足非常大，第 5 至 7 对游泳足的指节上有边缘刚毛，第三对尾足几乎与身体一样长。
