*Abstract*
Currently, 15 species of Nephtyidae (Annelida) are known from the Sea of
Okhotsk (north-western Pacific). A new user-friendly identification key is
presented with a brief description for each species. The taxonomic
positions of three closely related species, *Nephtys* *brachycephala*Moore,
1903, *N.* *schmitti* Hartman, 1938 and *N.* *paradoxa* Malm, 1874, are
revised. The distributions of two species, *Nephtys* *discors* Ehlers, 1968
and *N.* *assignis* Hartman, 1950, are discussed.
