Abstract	Bruce, N.L., 1 994. Four new genera of marine isopod crustaceans (Sphaeromatidae) from eastern and southern Australia. Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 54(2): 399-438. Four new genera of sphaeromatid isopods (subfamily Sphaeromatinae) are described: Benthosphaera gen. nov., Xynosphaeragen. nov., Bregmotypta gen. nov., and Cereosphaera gen. nov. Benthosphaera is recorded from tropical north-eastern Australia (off Townsville), to south-eastern Australia (off Tasmania), and is represented by Benthosphaera arkoo/a sp. nov. (type species), B. guaware sp. nov. and B. reburra sp. nov. The genus occurs at depths between 1 50 and 1 200 metres. Xynosphaera eolemani gen. et sp. nov. is recorded burrowing into Alcyonacea stems, from the northern Great Barrier Reef, the Philippines and Madagascar. Bregmotypta gen. nov. is characterized by the anterior margin of the head being greatly elongated. The genus is recorded from the central New South Wales coast (B. pavicula sp. nov.) and an undescribed species also occurs in the southern Great Barrier Reef. Cereosphaera gen. nov. is represented by five species, three described here: Cereosphaera wirriiin sp. nov. (type species). C. dilkera sp. nov. and C eoloura sp. nov. The genus is recorded from shallow water habitats to a depth of 50 m, and its range extends from subtropical western Australia (27°) eastwards to Victoria.
