A new species of Antygomonas NEBELSICK, 1990 (Kinorhyncha, Cyclorhagida) is described by means of light and scanning electron microscopical techniques from Fieberling Guyot in the Pacific Ocean. Antygomonas is characerized by following features: introvert with 7 rings of scalids (from anterior to posterior 10, 10, 10, 15, 15, 15, 14); neck with 16 placids and 32 interstitial placids; midventral placid is the widest; 1st trunk zonite as a complete ring; 2nd to 11th trunk zonite with midventral articulation; 11th trunk zonite additionally with incomplete lateral articulations; lateral acicular and cuspidate spines; middorsal spines; lateral terminal spine shorter than lateral terminal accessory spine; midterminal spine; sensory spots and modified sensory spots; oral styles with 3 elements. Antygomonas oreas sp.n. is distinguished from Antygomonas incomitata NEBELSICK, 1990, by the number and arrangement of the lateral and middorsal spines, sensory spots, and modified sensory spots.
