Received on August 12, 1986; accepted on February 28, 1987 Two new species of planlctonic copepods are described: Oncaea rufa and O. platysetosa. The former is characterised by the long setae of the fifth leg, the latter by the numerous modified setae on the appendages and caudal rami. Oncaea atlantica which is closely related to O. platysetosa, is redescribed from new material, also collected in the central and northern Red Sea.
