Taxonomic descriptions of five species treated anatomically in an accompanying paper by Haszprunar are given. Based on a new record from Florida, the type species of Cocculina, C. rathbuni Dall, 1882, is treated, enabling other genera in the family to be compared anatomically to the type genus. Cocculina ovata Schepman, 1908 is recognized from continental shelf depths off the Philippines‐ Two new species of Cocculina are described: C. baxteri , from the continental slope, Prince William Sound, Alaska, and C. cowani , from the continental slope off the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia. Coccocrater agassizi (Dall, 1908) is newly reported and redescribed from the lower continental slope and abyss in the Gulf of Panama.
