Abstract

Three new deep-sea species in the genus Tanaella are described: two from the Antarctic (T. eltaninae sp. nov., T. kimi sp. nov.) and one from the Angola Basin (T. profunda sp. nov.). This is the first record of Tanaella in the deep-sea of the Antarctic and the southern Atlantic Ocean. A key to the 13 known species of the genus is provided.
