Abstrakt		Parastenocaris andreji n. sp. was found in ground water in a northwestern part of Slovenia (southern part of Central Europe). Two adult females of the new species were filtered out of 20 000 l of water during examination of an aquifer for water supply. The bore well was 10 m deep. The aquifer is fed by rainwater and probably only occasionally from a nearby alpine river Sava. The new species differs markedly from other known species of the genus by shape and armature of furcal rami, very long and slim maxillae and some characters on endopodites P2-P5. The closest related species are probably Parastenocaris nolli Kiefer, 1938 with subspecies P. nolli alpina Kiefer, 1960, P. gertrudae Kiefer, 1968 and P. austriaca Kiefer, 1976.
