The genus Skenea (Archaeogastropoda, Skeneidae) is discussed, a key is given to the northeastern Atlantic species and two new species are described, S. larseni sp.n. and S. polita sp.n., both from deep water off southwestern Iceland. Skenea larseni is recorded also from the Faroes. Critical point dried specimens of S. basistriata and S. trochoides are figured to show the propodial penis. Taxonomical problems with Skenea basistriata are discusse...
