A previously unknown metazoan animal, found in the Black Sea hydrosulphuric zone bottom sediments, at 2120 m depth is described. The animal has several morphological and anatomical characters showing its belonging to the phylum Arthropoda; however, it cannot be attributed to any known arthropod class. Lack of sufficient material (a unique specimen is available) at the present stage of investigation does not permit to make final conclusion about the status of the organism described in the animals kingdom system. The specimen is deposited under the title ???Form 14??? in the Department of Shelf Ecosystems of the Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas of the NAS of Ukraine (Sevastopol).
