Oxypleurodon Miers, 1886 View in CoL
Remarks. Oxypleurodon was redefined and separated from other similar genera by Tavares (1991) and several species from the Indo-West Pacific were reviewed by Richer de Forges (1995). Ng and Richer de Forges (2007) listed the 17 species known. Davie (2002) included the genus in the subfamily Pisinae of family Majidae . Following Ng et al. (2008) it is now in the family Epialtidae MacLeay, 1838 , included inside the superfamily Majoidea . One species has been previously recorded from Australia, O. stimpsoni Miers, 1886 , from Queensland ( Davie, 2002). Here, a second species is newly recorded for Australia and a third species is described as new from Western Australia.
