The definition of the monotypic sabellid polychaete genus Monroika Hartman is emended based on additions to the description of the type species, Manayunkia africana Monro. Although type and nontype material is poorly preserved, the branchial crown appears to have a construction like that of some Manayunkia species. A cladistic analysis of fabriciin taxa (sensu Fitzhugh) places M. africana either as a sister group to, or as a species within Manayunkia . Potential systematic consequences of these results are discussed. A new genus and species from Australia, Parafabricia ventricingulata , is described which is a sister taxon to Augeneriella Banse and Fabricinuda Fitzhugh.
