Monoporeia affinis, (syn. Pontoporeia affinis) (, ' = Pontus / Black Sea; , ' = to travel), is a small, yellowish benthic amphipod living in the Baltic Sea, the Arctic Sea and the lakes of the Nordic countries.
==Description== Monoporeia affinis measures up to long when fully grown, with two pairs of antennae and one pair of black eyes. The legs arising from the first three segments of the abdomen are expanded basally to form broad plates. Monoporeia affinis closely resembles another benthic amphipod, Pontoporeia femorata, which can be distinguished from M. affinis by its light red eyes.
