A new diagnosis of the genus Antarctonemertes Friedrich, 1955 is given. Two species, Tetrastemma phyllospadicola Stricker, 1985 and T. dilutebasisae Kulikova, 1987 are transferred to Antarctonemertes. Tetrastemma quasioculata Korotkevitsch, 1977 is synonymised with A. papilliformis (Korotkevitsch, 1977). Antarctonemertes varvarae sp. n. from the Sea of Japan is described. The new species differs from similar A. dilutebasisae in a greater length of body (up to 25 mm), the smaller ratio of the basis length to that of stylet length (S/B = = 0.73-1.00), the presence of the ventral stomach pouche and the duration of reproductive period (from February to May). The genus Typhloerstedia gen. n. with a single species, T. anadonae nom. n. (=Oertedia vittata Anadon et Bitar, 1992 non Hubrecht, 1879) is established. Antarctonemertes, and probably, Typhloerstedia belong to the family Oerstediidae stat. n. (upgraded from subfamily rank) and the subfamily Antarctonemertinae stst. n. (upgraded from tribe rank). A key to identifying the genus Antarctonemertes is given.
