This paper provides records and short descriptions of six species of Lernaeopodidae and one of Naobranchiidae, found in Australian waters. Four of these species (Brachiella magna, B. tetrici, Thysanote gymnobrachiata and Clavellodes pterobrachiata) are new to science, one (Pseudocharopinus dasyaticus) was previously described from India, the sixth had already been known from Australia (Anaclavella sillaginoides), while the seventh (Naobranchia variabilis) occurs on many hosts in widely separated localities.
