Abstract
There are nine species of the family Clavagellidae recognised from Australian waters, including two new species, Clavagella (Clavagella) majorina sp. nov. an Upper Oligocene fossil from Victoria and Tasmania and Brechites (Foegia) veitchi sp. nov. a living and fossil species from South Australia and Western Australia. A key to the genera and species is given and the three genera and five subgenera are redefined. New information is given on the fossil record and distribution of the species, and the zoogeography of the group is discussed.
