We describe a new typhlotanaid species, Hamatipeda kohtsukai sp. nov., collected from between 167 and 488 m depth in the Sagami Sea, Japan. This is the first record of Hamatipeda from the northern hemisphere. Hamatipeda kohtsukai resembles Hamatipeda trapezoida from the Subantarctic region in having pereonites 1–3 widest anteriorly (not rectangular), but differs from it in the length ratio of antennal articles 4/5; the number of setae on the dactyli of pereopods 1–3, ischia of pereopods 4–6, and carpi of pereopods 4–6; the shape of the unguis of pereopods 4–6; and the shape of the uropodal endopod. We determined partial sequences for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI; cox1) and 18S rRNA (18S) genes in H. kohtsukai. A phylogenetic reconstruction based on the 18S sequences recovered a highly supported Typhlotanaidae clade containing H. kohtsukai and Typhlotanais mixtus, with Paranarthrura sp. (Agathotanaidae) as the sister taxon. A key to species of Hamatipeda is presented.
