A total of 243 specimens of Glyceridae and 186 specimens of Goniadidae were collected during the Thai–Danish BIOSHELF Project in the Andaman Sea portion of Thai national waters in 1996 and 1997. Eleven species of Glyceridae were found, of which Glycera macrobranchia (Moore, 1911), G. onomichiensis Izuka, 1912, G. posterobranchia Hoagland, 1920 and Hemipodia simplex (Grube, 1857) are newly reported for the Indian Ocean; Glycera brevicirris Grube, 1870, G. lapidum Quatrefages, 1866 and G. sphyrabrancha Schmarda, 1861 are new reports for the Andaman Sea; G. oxycephala Ehlers, 1887 is new for Thailand. Twelve species of Goniadidae (ten named) were found, of which Goniadides carolinae Day, 1973 (sensu Gilbert 1984) and Ophioglycera lyra Granados-Barba and Solís-Weiss, 1997 are newly reported for the Indian Ocean. Glycinde anuwati n. sp., Goniada apisiti n. sp., Goniada hexadentes n. sp. and Goniada amacrognatha n. sp. are newly described. The last-mentioned species is unique among goniadids in lacking macrognaths on the proboscis. Scanning electron micrographs of the proboscidial papillae and other proboscidial organs are presented for ten species of goniadids. Keys are provided to the Glyceridae and Goniadidae that are known from the Andaman Sea.
