Abstract
In the Melita group, new records of Dulichiella pacifica Lowry & Springthorpe are reported from the Great Barrier Reef. The record of Dulichiella australis (Haswell) from the GBR is rejected. The genus Melita (M. myersi G. Karaman and M. sampsonae sp. nov.) is reported from the GBR for the first time. The genus Tegano Barnard & Karaman is amended and reported from Australian (T. atkinsae sp. nov.), New Caledonian (T. levis (Stock & Iliffe)) and Japanese (T. Shiodamari (Yamato)) waters for the first time.
