Abstract Two types of integumental structures not previously recorded for Crustacea were found in the bathypelagic calanoid copepod Gaussia. Pits containing radiating ridges are always found at the base of aesthetascs. A squat appendage is articulated to joint 11 of the male right antennule, ending in a hemispherical and a conical projection.

Keywords Integumental structures, Crustacea, Copepoda, Gaussia, Antennules.
