"Dulcibella camanchaca gen. nov. sp. nov. is a large amphipod (holotype: 38.9 mm length) with diagnostic features that include: a smooth dorsal body, 12 spines on the outer maxilla 1 plate, subsimilar and strongly subchelate gnathopods with broad carpus lobes, the pereopods 3 and 4 dactyli are 0.45× of the respective propodus and pereopods 5 to 7 dactyli are 0.6×, a distal spiniform process on the peduncle of uropod 1, and an elongated but weakly cleft telson. Together, Dulcibella camanchaca gen. nov. sp. nov. is a novel predator and reinforces the eco-evolutionary distinctiveness of the Atacama Trench. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:95A6C497-AC8E-4C24-B451-C4B7F76CE687"
