Bathyamaryllis kapala is a species of amphipod in the family Amaryllididae, and was first described in 2002 by James K. Lowry and Helen E. Stoddart.[1][2]
Bathyamaryllis kapala occurs on the east coast of Australia.[1] The holotype (AM P36868) is female, and was carrying 16 eggs. It was collected on a bottom trawl in 1980 by the FRV Kapala, trawling at a depth of about 900 m, off the New South Wales coast.[2] The species is named for the vessel.[2]
