Stygotantulus is a genus of crustacean with the sole species Stygotantulus stocki.[2] It lives as an ectoparasite on harpacticoid copepods of the families Tisbidae and Canuellidae.[3] It may be the smallest arthropod in the world, at a length of less than 0.1 millimetres (0.004 in).[4] The specific name stocki commemorates Jan Hendrik Stock, a Dutch carcinologist.[5]
