Arichlidon hanneloreae gen. nov., sp. nov. is described from coastal and offshore coral reefs in tropical eastern and western Australian waters, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and the Marshall Islands. Arichlidon acropetalon sp. nov. is described from deeper waters off north Queensland, eastern Australia. Bhawania reyssi Katzmann, Laubier and Ramos, 1974, is redescribed and assigned to the new genus Arichlidon. Additional material of B. reyssi is recorded from Cape Verde Islands, Eastern Atlantic; Mediterranean localities, including specimens from abyssal depths of the eastern Mediterranean, and the Red Sea. The new genus is characterised by a distinct convex, broad, short body form and the shapes of the highly ornamented lateral, main and median paleae groups. Epitokous spinigerous neurosetae, not recorded before in the Chrysopetalidae, are described for Arichlidon hanneloreae sp. nov.
