| - Robust icefish, Channichthys richardsoni, a new species (the ninth species of white-blooded fish in the genus Channichthys) is described from 18 specimens, 229[long dash]374 mm TL, taken in July and August 1990 by 2 bottom trawls at depths of 126[long dash]310 m near the Kerguelen Islands. The holotype (NMNH 5116, adult female, 355 mm TL and 316 mm SL) and 6 paratypes were deposited in the National Museum of Natural History of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Judging the shape of the first dorsal fin (type II) and relatively narrow interorbital width, C. richardsoni belongs to the same group of species which includes C. irinae, C. bospori and C. mithridatis. It is closely related to C. mithridatis, but differs from it by very robust exterior, heavy ossification of head, strong bony tuberculation, presence of well developed thick bony plates in the proximal part of median lateral line, relatively smaller eyes, and by features of coloration.
