A new holothurian species Chiridota hydrothermica (Apodida: Chiridotidae) is described, restricted to hydrothermal vent habitats. The new species is known from the west Pacific (Manus and North Fiji Basins) and the South East Pacific Rise, between 17 and 21°S. The unusual large, lobe-like tentacles of this holothurian, uncommon in the family Chiridotidae, could be an adaptation to facilitate shifts between suspension- and deposit-feeding in the hydrothermal environment. A brief review of all known records of holothurians and other echinoderms at hydrothermal vents is given.
