Out of eight species of pisionids sampled in Papua New Guinea, six are new to science: Pisione helenae n.sp., P. parhelenae n.sp., P. parva n.sp., P. brevicirra n.sp., P. ungulata n.sp. and P. primitiva n.sp. Some remarks are given for P. subulata Yamanishi 1992, new for Papua New Guinea, and for P. papuensis Govaere & De Wilde, 1993. Special attention was paid to some female worms. A key is included for the Pisionidae of Papua New Guinea.
