Bathyhalacarus was hitherto known from the Pacific only. Now five species have been found in deep sea regions of the Atlantic Ocean. The five species, viz. Bathyhulacarus abyssiculus sp.n., B. ucanthophorus sp.n., B. aculifer sp.n., B. acutus sp.n., and B. atlanticus sp.n. are described. The taxonomic characteristics of the known species are tabulated, and their geographical distribution illustrated.
