Glyptonotus Antarcticus
''Glyptonotus antarcticus'' is a benthic marine isopod crustacean in the suborder Valvifera. This relatively large isopod is found in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. It was first described by James Eights in 1852 and the type locality is the South Shetland Islands. Description ''Glyptonotus antarcticus'' has a typical maximum length of , but may rarely reach up to . This is large for an isopod, most of which are between in length. It has two pairs of compound eyes, a large pair on the dorsal surface and a smaller pair on the ventral surface. Glyptonotus antarticus has only five ommatidia, which is unusual for crustaceans and insects. It is thought that the latter are useful when the animal is swimming, which it does in an upside-down position. With the exception of the eyes, certain mouthparts and feet, the whole surface of the animal has minute cuticular outgrowths of feathery hairs and knobbly scales. It is thought that these may help to prevent attachment of Foraminife ...

Valvifera
The Valvifera are marine isopod crustaceans. Valviferans are distinguished, however, by the flat, valve-like uropods which hinge laterally and fold inward beneath the rear part of their bodies, covering the pleopods. Some species are omnivorous, and serve as effective scavengers in the economy of the sea. Eleven families are recognised: *Antarcturidae Poore, 2001 (17 genera) *Arcturidae Dana, 1849 (14 genera) * Arcturididae Poore, 2001 (one genus) * Austrarcturellidae Poore & Bardsley, 1992 (five genera) *Chaetiliidae Dana, 1849 (13 genera) *Holidoteidae Wägele, 1989 (three genera) * Holognathidae Thomson, 1904 (five genera) *Idoteidae Samouelle, 1819 (22 genera) * Pseudidotheidae Ohlin, 1901 (one genus) *Rectarcturidae Rectarcturidae is a family of marine isopods belonging to the suborder Valvifera The Valvifera are marine isopod crustaceans.
