Bushiella (B.) vitjazi Rzhavsky, 1988, is synonymised with Bushiella (B.) asymmetrica Rzhavsky, 1988. New records extend the known range of the latter to East Kamchatka shores, and of Bushiella (B.) evoluta (Bush, 1905) to West Spitsbergen. Specimens of Bushiella (Jugaria) beatlesi sp. n. were collected from the Pacific shore off Simushir Island (Kurile Islands) on tubes of Nothria conchylega (Polychaeta: Onuphidae) at 150 m depth. Bushiella (J.) beatesi is closely related to B (J.) quadrangularis (Bush, 1905) but differs in talon and tube morphology and smaller size (maximum whorl diameter no more than 1.5 mm when adult). In talon morphology and absence of calcification of the brood chamber, B (J.) beatlesi is similar to B. (B.) evoluta, but differs in many other features. Bushiella (Jugaria) acuticostalis Rzhavsky, 1991 is first recorded from the Commander Islands and Bushiella (Jugaria) similis (Bush, 1905) from West Spitsbergen and Franz Joseph Land. Data on variations of tube and operculum morphology are given for B. (B.) asymmetrica, B (J.) acuticostalis, B. (J.) similis and B. (J.) quadrangularis.
