Phoratopus remex is a species of isopod crustaceans known from only two specimens, and first described in 1925 by Herbert Matthew Hale (1895–1963).[2] It lives on the continental shelf at Encounter Bay and Fowlers Bay, South Australia.[3][4] It is so unlike all other isopods that it is placed in its own family, Phoratopodidae and suborder, Phoratopidea.[5][6]
