Abstract	Fourteen species of the family Paradoxostomatidae, 6 species of the Pectocytheridae and 15 species and subspecies of the family Trachyleberididae, belonging to 5 of its subfamilies (Trachyleberidinae, Arculacythereinae, Cytherettinae, Ruggieriainae and Schizocytherinae) have been encountered in the Solomon Islands. All are discussed or described and illustrated. One new genus, Hypocritecythere and 15 new species and subspecies are described: Paradoxostoma bilocus, P. dorsostriata, P. sophicos, Javanella dolichostracon, Keijia radiata, K. brachychthonus, Kotoracythere doratus, Hypocritecythere polymorphica, Neocaudites pacifica listrotus, Ponticocythereis pollostus, Arculacythereis polytrematus, Alocopocythere reticulata fultura, A. reticulata perfecta, Australimoosella polypleuron and Ruggeria caryonautes ssp. nov. Eleven species and subspecies have been previously described from the Indo-Pacific and Australasian regions and seven species are left in open nomenclature and 2 paradoxostomatids are referred to or compared with other species. These three families make up an important component of the total Solomon Island fauna, especially since many of them are new.
