Popis: It is suggested to distinguish two natural groups in the taxonomic rank of the subfamily within the family Caristiidae—Caristiinae and Paracaristiinae. Based on a large amount of factual material (42 individuals) and published data, systematics of Caristiinae (genus Caristius of the nontropical zone of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is considered. The description of C. macropus from the northern part of the Pacific Ocean and of C. groenlandicus from the north Atlantic is provided. From the southeast Atlantic, three new species—C. barsukovi sp. n., C. litvinovi sp. n., and C. walvisensis sp. n.—are described. Their diagnostic characters comprise specific features of the structure of branchial apparatus, dentation on the jaws, roof of the oral cavity, as well as body proportions and number of rays in unpaired fins. A preliminary key for the identification of Caristiinae in the Atlantic Ocean is presented.
