A collection of pandalid shrimps was obtained from trawl catch in the western Bering Sea at a depth of 362 m off the Navarin Cape in June 1999. There were two species of Pandalopsis in the collection, P. dispar and a new species, P. zarenkovi spec. nov., which is described herein. The diagnostic characters of the new species are discussed in relation to related congeners. The side-stripe shrimp, P. dispar, has been recorded for the first time in the Russian waters. This species is fished commercially as a bycatch of Pandalus borealis.
