| Abstract: 'Six new specimens of Melanostrophus fokini Öpik from geschiebes of Schleswig-Holstein are described and figured. The genus is assigned to the new family Melanostrophidae on the basis of its special construction of the colony and the presumed special planctonic/benthic mode of life. The new genus Stolonofolliculus is established for Melanostrophus signum due to profound differences in the separation of the stolons and because of the sessile mode of life.'
