Etymology. The name “s cotti” is dedicated to the British explorer Robert Falcon Scott CVO, in order to mark the 100th anniversary of his heroic trial to be the first person to reach the geographic South Pole. He reached the pole second, after Roald Amundsen, and died on this ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition around the 29th March 1912.

Type fixation. Holotype ( Figs 2 , 3 ): adult male, 5.4 mm, ZMH K-42990, designated here.

Type material examined. Holotype: adult male, 5.4 mm, ZMH K-42990, used for the illustration of the habitus and DNA studies. Paratypes: adult male, 5.1 mm, ZMH K-42991, dissected for illustrations of appendages and habitus as well as DNA studies; non-ovigerous female, 5.3 mm, ZMH K-42992, dissected for illustration of appendages and DNA studies.

Type material - Remarks. The holotype is comlplete except for posterior pereopods that have been removed from one side for DNA studies; complete holotype and carcasses of paratype are conserved in 96% EtOH, dissected parts are mounted on slides using Euparal.

Remarks. Macrostylis scotti n. sp. is among the largest species of Macrostylidae currently described with only M. galatheae Wolff, 1956 and M. magnifica Wolff, 1962 of similar size or larger than M. scotti . This species appears closely related to M. uniformis Riehl & Brandt, 2010 . The character states shared by both species are e.g. a heavily calcified cuticle of the body and appendages, strong and simple, unidentate mandibular incisors, an oval, elongate operculum with continuous transition between lateral setal fringe and terminal row of setae. Furthermore, both terminal and subterminal articles of the female antennulae bear one aesthetasc respectively and the pereopod III ischium dorsal lobe features two prominent setae.

A group of species potentially closely related consists of M. abyssicola Hansen, 1969 , M. minuta Menzies, 1962 , M. robusta Brandt, 2004 . Similar to M. scotti , these have tergal plates laterally projecting below coxal articulations. In combination with keeled sternites, this allows the pereopods to be positioned close to the sternites. This might have important implications for a burrowing lifestyle. Further, they share the body free from dense cover with setules, and a subterminally articulating uropod endopod with M. scotti and M. uniformis . On the other hand, in this group, one can identify a tendency to reduce the antennula as well as the seventh pereopods, which is not the case in M. scotti .

Among the characters unique for M. scotti are the very long setae that can be found laterally on the tergites.
