The new suctorian has a sacciform body with seven longitudinal ribs, a compact macronucleus and up to 40 non-retractile tentacles. The budding is exogenous. The systematic position of the new species and the genus Corynophrya is discussed, as well as infestation rates and sites of suctorians on their halacarid hosts. keywords: Abyssal; Ashadze;halacaridmite;Mid-atlanticridge;newspecies;Suctoria creators_name: Ilse, Bartsch creators_name: Dovgal, I.
