Type species. Phalacrostemma cidariophilum Marenzeller, 1895 , by monotypy.
Type locality. Off Pelagossa Island , Adriatic Sea .
Diagnosis. Buccal flaps present, arrangement of outer paleae in a spiral on each lobe, in most species.
Remarks. Kirtley (1994) recognised 10 species within the genus and four species have been described since then ( Lechapt & Kirtley 1998 and present paper). This represents the first record of the genus from Australia and as this genus currently is only known from deep water, this is not surprising given the limited offshore sampling carried out in Australia. As can be seen from Table 3, many species of the genus are extremely poorly known and have been separated based solely on paleal features. A complete revision of the genus is therefore urgently needed.
