Abstract
The diagnosis of a new genus Drescheriella belonging to the family Tisbidae and description of a new species Drescheriella glacialis sp. nov. are presented. Based on character differentiation of copepodite appendages it is suggested that Drescheriella gen. nov. is the apomorphic sister group of Tisbe. Live specimens of all developmental instars were found in the lower 20 cm of sea ice cores indicating that reproduction and development occur within the ice. The new species was the only harpacticoid inhabiting sea ice of the eastern Weddell Sea (Antarctica) in varying abundance.
