Abstract Chelicopia tasmanensis n.sp. is described from 4 specimens trawled at 531-768 m off the west coast of the South Island. The genus has not previously been recorded from the New Zealand region, nor from depths exceeding a few metres elsewhere. This material has revealed ontogenetic characters permitting formulation of a key to the developmental stages of Sarsiellidae.

Keywords Ostracoda; Myodocopina; Sarsiellidae; Chelicopia tasmanensis; new taxa; Tasman Sea; bathyal zone; developmental stages; key.
