Remarks. This species was named in honor of Dr. George (Buz) Wilson (Saugatuck Natural History Laboratory), a great friend and world-recognized isopod specialist who came to Brazil in 2006 to study the project OCEANPROF Asellota collection. At the time, Dr. Wilson analyzed the material and indicated the presence of several putative new species.
