Taxonomical study was carried out on amphipod crustaceans found near Syowa Station, Antarctica. Four species of Orchomene rossi, O. plebs, Uristes murrayi and Waldeckia obesa were dealt with. Distinguishing characters between the first two species were remarked and figured. As for the last two species, special emphasis of the discussion was laid on the number of plumose setae on the inner plate of the first maxilla.
