A re‐examination of the morphology of the female and male of Parastenocaris phyllura Kiefer, 1938 is presented using light and scanning electron microscopy. Particular attention is given to the structures of the antennae 1 and 2, the mouthparts, the pereopods, the female genital field and the caudal furcae. Five morphologically distinct copepodid stages are described. Comparative morphology and functional aspects of the adults and copepodids are discussed.
