A systematic study was made of the calanoid copepod genus Euaugaptilus found in Isaacs-Kidd midwater trawl and Bongo plankton net samples taken in Antarctic and Subantarctic waters. A total of 303 adult copepods representing 14 species of Euaugaptilus were found, including five new species ( E. hadrocephalus, E. perasetosus, E. aliquantus, E. brevirostratus , and E. austrinus ) and seven new records ( E. maxillaris, E. nodifrons, E. bullifer, E. gibbus, E. angustus, E. laticeps , and E. oblongus ). Euaugaptilus antarcticus (Wolfenden) is restored from synonymy. All species are characterized with pertinent descriptions and illustrations. Keys are presented for identification of the species.
