A new species of Trichogypsiidae is described and compared to its congeners. Trichogypsia alaskensis n. sp. represents
the fifth species of the family and with this record all three genera of the family are now represented in the North Pacific
Ocean. Calcarea are rare in the Gulf of Alaska but with this new record the number of confirmed species rises from two
to three. The new species has larger diactines of a broader size range and with a different pattern of spination than all congeners.
