ABSTRACT. A new species, Danielssenia spiridonovi sp.n., is described from the Kara and East Siberian Sea. It can be distinguished from the known congeners by the differences in the male’s seven-segmented antennule, comparatively larger copulatory pore and genital field pattern in females, and different setal formula. Danielssenia similis Chislenko, 1978 is redescribed based on the type material and a new material from the Sea of Okhotsk. The genus now contains six well defined species. A generic amended diagnosis is proposed to accommodate all the species of the genus, and a key to the species of Danielssenia is presented.
KEY WORDS: Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Pseudotachidiidae, Danielsseniinae, Danielssenia.
