Material of two species of Pisione recently collected in Spencer Gulf, South Australia, constitutes the first Australian records of the Pisionidae, a family of small interstitial polychaetes. One of the species is P. gopalai (Alikunhi, 1941), known previously only from India, and here redescribed with additional observations concerning its reproductive system. The second species, apparently related to P. papillata Yamanishi, 1976 of Japan, is described as P. tortuosa sp. nov. KEY WORDS: Polychaeta, Pisionidae, Pisione gopalai, Pisione tortuosa sp. nov., Australia.
