Inner plate of maxilla 1 with eight plumose setae. Inner plate of maxilla 2 with seven facial seta in oblique row. Peduncle of pleopod 3 with seta. Uropod 1 with peduncle bearing basofacial robust setae. Uropod 3 with inner ramus 0.25 times as long as outer ramus; outer ramus 2-ariticulate, with plumose setae on medial margin. Telson almost as long as width, cleft for 67% of length.
Etymology.
The specific epithet was derived from the names of Mr. Yasuyuki Iwata and Mr. Tomofumi Iwata, who collected the specimens of this new species.

Remarks.
Eoniphargus iwataorum sp. nov. is similar to E. kojimai but differs from the latter in the following features (features of E. kojimai in parentheses): urosomite 3 without robust setae on dorsal margin (bearing robust setae), maxilla 2 with inner plate bearing seven setae in oblique row (nine setae), and uropod 2 without robust seta on lateral margin of outer ramus (bearing robust seta).
