Five species of the genus Shizotricha Allman, 1883, one of which is new to science, have been studied. The material originates from the Weddell Sea region and from off Elephant Island and it was collected during several antarctic expeditions with the R.V. 'Polarstern'. Each species is described and figured and its systematic position among allied species discussed. The type material of Schizotricha glacialis (Hickson & Gravely, 1907) and S. turqueti Billard, 1906 has been re-examined and is also described and figured.
Descriptors: SCHIZOTRICHA GLACIALIS; SCHIZOTRICHA TURQUETI; SCHIZOTRICHA UNIFURCATA; SCHIZOTRICHA NANA new species; SCHIZOTRICHA sp. new species
