Two new fanworm species in the genera Fabriciola Friedrich and Pseudoaugeneriella Fitzhugh are described from Panwa Bay, Phuket, Thailand. Fabriciola phuketensis n. sp. is similar to Fabriciola sp. cf. F. berkeleyi Banse, F. mediaseta Fitzhugh, F. rubra Fitzhugh, F. flammula Rouse, and F. cri Rouse in having a low anterior peristomial ring collar, red peristomial and pygidial eyes, and abdominal neuropodia! pinhead setae. The new species is distinguished from F. mediaseta and F. rubra by the absence of thoracic broadly hooded flagellate setae and differs from Fabriciola sp. cf. F. berkeleyi, F. flammula, and F. cri in that it lacks crown and trunk pigmentation; it differs in collar construction as well. Fabriciola flammula and F. cri were originally described as having broadly hooded flagellate setae. Examination of paratype material reveals that all inferior thoracic notosetae are narrowly hooded; descriptions of the species are appropriately emended. The total number of described Fabriciola species is increased to 16. Pseudoaugeneriella brevirama n. sp. is the second species described in the genus and differs from P. unirama Fitzhugh in having vascularized ventral filamentous appendages that are no more than half the length of the branchial crown. Appendages in P. unirama are almost the same length as the crown. The monophyly of Pseudoaugeneriella is discussed, and cladistic relationships among Fabriciola species are presented
