Recent examination of specimens of Euzonus, Ophelia, Ophelina and Travisia (Polychaeta: Opheliidae) in the South Australian Museum revealed a previously undescribed species in each genus: Euzonus zeidleri sp. nov., Ophelia bulbibranchiata sp. nov., Ophelina longicirrata sp. nov. and Travisia oksae sp. nov. The previous report of Travisia forbesii Johnston, 1840 from Victoria is referred to T. oksae sp. nov. T. oksae sp. nov. is known from South Australia and Victoria, the other three from South Australia only. Euzonus zeidleri sp. nov. represents the first record of its genus for Australia.
