Abstract
A new species of bathypelagic planktonic ostracod is described and a comparative study made between it and the closely-related species Conchoecia dasyophthalma Müller, 1906. The new species occurs deeper in the water column than C. dasyophthalma, it is smaller and can easily be recognized by its size and the unusual position of the right asymmetrical gland.
