Abstract: | A new species of Oweniidae from the Ross Sea (Antarctica) is described and compared with the remaining species of the genus Myriochele from the Antarctic seas. The authors also discuss the difficulty of detecting the shape of uncini (considered as an important diagnostic character) by optical microscopy; they propose a key to Antarctic Oweniidae based on characters easier to observe than uncini.
