New Australian Species of Ampeliscidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from the Great Barrier Reef and Eastern Australia with a Key to Australian Species

Six new species of Ampeliscidae are described: Ampelisca capella sp. nov., Ampelisca mingela sp. nov., Byblis pialba sp. nov. and Byblis wadara sp. nov. from the Great Barrier Reef; Ampelisca katoomba sp. nov. from the New South Wales shelf; and Byblis liena sp. nov. from the Queensland slope. Byblisoides esferis J. L. Barnard, 1961 is recorded from southeastern Australia, the first record of the genus in Australia. These bring the number of eastern Australian species to twenty-six.
