Abstract
    The marine pelagic tunicate from the family of Doliolidae Bronn, 1862 in the coastal waters of Terengganu was studied for the first time, hereby presented in this paper. The distribution was analysed from 18 sampling stations alongside the Terengganu waters; including Pulau Bidong, Pulau Yu and Pulau Kapas. Samples were collected from April to July 2016 using 200μm Bongo net; towed vertically from a stationary vessel; and were preserved in a 5% buffered formaldehyde. Five species discovered in this family were identified as new records in Malaysian waters: Doliolum denticulatum Quoy and Gaimard, 1834, Doliolum nationalis Borgert, 1894, Dolioletta gegenbaurii Uljanin, 1884, Krohn, 1852 and Dolioloides rarum Grobben, 1882. A comprehensive review of the species description, diagnosis and a key to the phorozooid from the recorded species is herewith provided. We also deliver a detailed map of current and known worldwide occurrence of these five species, and thus consequently update the biodiversity of Malaysian fauna.
