The terebellid fauna of northern Australia comprises 34 species of which six are new: Amaeana yirrarn sp. nov., Euthelepus marchinbar sp. nov., Rhinothelepus buku sp. nov., Streblosoma maligirrima sp. nov., Lanicides banatawa sp. nov., Pista gwoyarrma sp. nov., and Loimia ochracea is redescribed. Several genera (five) and many species (14) are recorded for the first time from northern Australia. Some records represent considerable range extensions. A key to the genera and species is given.
