Abstract
Abstract A new family Hyperbionycidae (Copepoda: Calanoida) is established to accommodate Hyperbionyx pluto gen. et sp. nov., which was collected from the deep-sea hyperbenthic layer in the North-east Atlantic. The new family is closely related to the family Arietellidae, sharing several apomorphic characters, but can be readily distinguished by the highly modified maxilla. Relationships between the new family and other families in the superfamily Arietelloidea are also discussed.
