Three species, Werthella atlantica n. sp., Pelacarus aculeata (Trouessart) and Werthelloides bathyalis n. sp., are described. All 3 species are known to live in the bathyal zone. In the 3 species, shape and chaetotaxy of idiosoma and gnathosoma are similar, but according to chaetotaxy of the tarsi and presence or absence of a deutonymph, the species ought to be placed into different subfamilies.
