    A new species of multi-tentacled box jellyfish from eastern Arnhem Land along the Gulf of Carpentaria, renowned locally for occurring only in the so-called ‘safe season’ (i.e., the dry season), is described. Chiropsella bart n. sp., differs from other chiropsalmids in maturing at a much smaller size, in its mature tentacle number, in having coalesced gastric saccules in the form of a kidney-bean-shaped knob, and in having very long pedalia with t…

    Elbeenus lauramartinae, a new genus and species of the soft coral family Alcyoniidae from deep (159 m) water off Palau is described.The lobed colonies bear a resemblance to some species of Sinularia or Kly.xum, but unlike these genera the coenenchymal sclerites consist of large interior spindles only.Colonies have very large polyps armed with large collaret and points sclerites that are characteristic of
