Two new species of Terebrasabella Fitzhugh & Rouse, 1999 are described from eastern Australia. Terebrasabella hutchingsae sp. nov., was found from preserved coral rock debris collected in 1977 on the outer Barrier Reef near Lizard Island, Queensland. Terebrasabella fitzhughi sp. nov., was found alive in burrows in and among spirorbin serpulid tubes on intertidal rocks in Tasmania in 1996. Both species were found in mucoid tubes, and brood their young in a manner similar to the only other described species of Terebrasabella, T. heterouncinata Fitzhugh & Rouse, 1999. Terebrasabella hutchingsae sp. nov., is exceptional as it possesses a type of thoracic neurochaetal uncinus different from the other two species, and which is similar to the notochaetal acicular “palmate hook” seen in Caobangia. Descriptions of both species are given, and the diagnosis for Terebrasabella is emended. Larval and chaetal morphology and relationships among of the three known Terebrasabella spp. are discussed.

Two new species of symbiotic hippolytid shrimps of the genus Alcyonohippolyte Marin, Okuno & Chan, 2010 are described from Lizard Island, the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Alcyonohippolyte tenuicarpus sp. nov. is associated with xeniid soft coral of the genus Heteroxenia Kolliker, 1874 and differs from the congeners by a long rostrum greatly exceeding antennular peduncle and slender carpal segments of pereiopod II. Alcyonohippolyte tubiporae sp. nov. is associated with organ pipe coral of the genus Tubipora Linnaeus, 1758, possibly T. musica Linnaeus, 1758 (Alcyonacea: Tubiporidae), and differs from the congeners by equal distal and proximal carpal segments of pereiopod II. Both species can be clearly separated from the congeners ecologically and by coloration.

Two New Species

Two new species of small hydromedusae were found during routine monitoring in coastal waters of eastern Australia and are here described. The first,MelicertissaantrichardsoniUribe-Palomino & Gershwin,sp. n., from Moreton Bay, Queensland, is placed in its genus because of its possession of both cordyli and eight-fold symmetry. It differs from its congeners in two conspicuous features: firstly, having small, oval split gonads located adjacent to the base of the stomach, and secondly, in its extremely small size at maturity (2 mm bell diameter, compared to the next smallest species at 7 mm). Moreover, it possesses a unique combination of other characters. This species appears to be endemic to Moreton Bay. The second new species,ParaloveniayongalensisGershwin & Uribe-Palomino,sp. n., from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, is placed in its genus because of its two opposite normal tentacles and two opposite marginal clusters of cirri. It differs from its congeners primarily in a more rounded body than the others; the shape, length, and position of its short spindle-shaped, distal gonads; possession of subumbrellar nematocyst clusters; and possession of statocysts. These discoveries bring the total number ofMelicertissaspecies to eight and the total number ofParaloveniaspecies to three. The discovery of these two micromedusae underscores the need for further examination of the often-ignored minute and/or gelatinous fauna.

First Time

The genera Tenupedunculus Schultz, 1982 and Stenobermuda Schultz, 1979 are recorded for the first time from beyond the Southern Ocean, at the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Tenupedunculusserrulatussp. n. and Stenobermudawaroogasp. n. are described from Heron Island and Lizard Island respectively, both in the Great Barrier Reef. The genus Tenupedunculus is revised and a new diagnosis presented, with Tenupedunculusvirginale Schultz, 1982, T.pulchrum (Schultz, 1982), and T.serrulatussp. n. being retained within the genus, and the remaining species here regarded as Stenetriidaeincertae sedis (eight species).

Two New Species

Two new species of cyproideid amphipods, Cyproidea cobia, sp. nov. and Narapheonoides lowryi, sp. nov., are described from the Great Barrier Reef. Cyproidea cobia, sp. nov., is characterized by gnathopod 1 having a rectolinear basis and gnathopod 2 ischium posterior process not developed. Narapheonoides lowryi, sp. nov., differs from its congeners in that the basis in both pereopods 6 and 7 has a posterodistal flange and the pereopod 6 basis is broader. With the recently described Gbroidea dingaalana Lowry & Azman, 2008, collected from Lizard Island, this study brings the number of known cyproideid amphipods from the Great Barrier Reef to three species.

Two New Species

Two new species of the nudibranch genus Okenia Menke, 1830 (Goniodorididae) are described, one from eastern Australian waters and one from the western Indian Ocean. Okenia atkinsonorum sp. nov. is the third Australian species reported to feed on the bryozoan Pleurotoichus clathratus (Harmer, 1902) and is very similar in external shape and colour to the other two species, O. hallucigenia Rudman, 2004 and O. stellata Rudman, 2004. Okenia rhinorma sp. nov. is reported from Tanzania and the Red Sea. Its body shape and anatomy suggest it is related to the ascidian-feeding group in the genus characterised by O. aspersa (Alder & Hancock, 1845).

Two New Species

The “Hamopontonia corallicola” Bruce, 1970 species complex is partly revised. The type species of the genus, H. corallicolaBruce, 1970, is redescribed based on material from Northern Australia. Additionally, two new species of the genus associatedwith hard corals are described from Lizard Island, the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Hamopontonia fungicola sp. nov. isassociated with fungiid coral Heliofungia actiniformis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1833) and H. physogyra sp. nov. is associated withcaryophyllid coral Physogyra lichtensteini Milne-Edwards & Haime, 1851. Both species clearly differ from their congeners indistinctive coloration and morphological features. A differential key and remarks on coloration of all described species of the genus are provided.
