The family Lineolariidae Allman, 1864 is redefined and the known species are redescribed. The genus Lineolaria Hincks, 1861 is endemic to south-eastern Australia, and the new genus Nicoliana is proposed for Lineolaria gravierae Millard, 1975 from southern Africa, Lineolaria parasitica Antsulevich, 1987 and Agglutinaria operculata Antsulevich, 1987 from the Sea of Okhotsk are excluded from the family. 'Lineolaria spinulosa Hincks, 1861 and Nicoliana gravierae are both obligate epiphytes of seagrasses, and Lineolaria flexuosa Bale, 1884 occurs only on algae. Evolutionary implications and the distribution of the family are discussed.
