Abstract

During the expedition ‘Me48/1 DIVA 1’, carried out in the abyssal Angola Basin between 5125 and 5415 m depth, several specimens of Solenogastres were collected. Their study has made it possible to describe three new species of the genus Kruppomenia (K. angolensis sp. nov., K. glandulata sp. nov. and K. macrodenticulata sp. nov.) with very significant differences in their radular apparatus, reproductive system and pallial cavity. The absence of radular sacs in K. glandulata sp. nov. modifies the genus definition.
