AB  - Twenty-six abyssal polychaetes are named from the Mozambique basin off southeast Africa. Three species and two genera are new: <i>Progoniada simplex</i>, <i>Berkeleyia profunda</i>, <i>Bruunilla natalensis</i>, and another in Sphaerodoridae to be described elsewhere. A new family Fauveliopsidae is erected, its species previously allied with Flabelligeridae. Three species are known from Indo-Pacific regions: <i>Glycera papillosa</i>, <i>Ammotrypane brevibranchiata</i>, <i>Phalacrostemma elegans</i>. One, <i>Axionice spinifera</i>, is antarctic; another, <i>Scalibregma inflata</i>, is cosmopolitan. Five generic categories are chiefly or wholly abyssal: <i>Ilyphagus</i>, <i>Fauveliopsis</i>, <i>Flabelligella</i>, <i>Monorchos</i>, <i>Potamethus</i>. Nine genera are cosmopolitan: <i>Aphrodita</i>, <i>Euphrosine</i>, <i>Phyllochaetopterus</i>, <i>Chaetozone</i>, <i>Ammotrypane</i>, <i>Nicomache</i>, <i>Myriochele</i>, <i>Serpula</i>. Unidentifiable species are in families Lacydonidae, Onuphidae, and Ampharetidae. A compendium names abyssal species from depths of 2000 m or more; included are nearly 500 species in 240 genera and 51 families.
