Introduction
Members of this speciose family have elongate, cylindrical or fusiform bodies and are generally found in shallow water marine sediments (Boxshall & Halsey 2004).
Two species are listed for Australia, one of which, Phyllopodopsyllus wellsi Karanovic, Pesce & Humphreys, 2001, was described recently from Australian anchialine groundwaters.
