Tanzanapseudes polynesiensis n.sp., a coral-reef-inhabiting species of Tanaidacea from Bora Bora and Moorea (Society Islands, French Polynesia) is described. Its intrageneric affinities are discussed and notes on its habitat preference are provided. This is the first record of Metapseudidae: Tanzanapseudinae from the Pacific Ocean.
