Abstract
Findings of the brown shanny Stichaeus fuscus Miki et Maruyama, 1986 in waters of Russia are reported for the first time. The morphology of S. fuscus is studied in detail based on representative material; the taxonomic characters of this species are revised. A key to the species of the genus Stichaeus is given.
