A new, brightly colored species of the genus Myrianida Milne-Edwards, 1845 from the Philippine Islands is herein described. The new species is characterized by a striking color pattern, with a yellow body and alternating red bands, and with white antennae, tentacular cirri, first dorsal cirri, and anal cirri. The median antenna and nuchal epaulettes are very long. The pharynx exhibits single sinuation, and a a trepan with 18-20 equal teeth in a single ring. The reproductive females stolons are described. The phylogenetic position of the species within Myrianida is determined using molecular data, suggesting it is most closely related to the clade containing M. pachycera (Augener, 1913) and M. gidholmi Nygren and Pleijel, 2007. This is the first description of a well-characterized species of Myrianida from the Philippine Islands
