A new species of Leptostraca, Sarsinebalia agoensis sp. nov., from Ago Bay, Japan is described from specimens found at a depth of 120 m. The new species differs from other known Sarsinebalia species as follows: the compound eye has three distal lobes; the anterior margin of the first antennal segment has one distal process covered with setae; and the lateral margin of pleopod 1 exopod bears 5–6 simple, robust spines. A taxonomic key to all species of Sarsinebalia is also provided.
