Abstract. Ten new species of Desmosomatidae from the Canada Basin (Polar Sea) were collected at the drift station “North Pole 22”. Seven of them – Balbidocolon polare sp. n., Eugerda mandibulata sp. n., Eugerda gurjanovae sp. n., Eugerda dubia sp. n., Cryodesma cryoabyssale sp. n., Chelator stellae sp. n., Oecidiobranchus glacialis sp. n. – are described. The other three species remain undescribed being poorly preserved.
