AB  - Eight new species, including one new genus, <i>Armaster chondros</i> n. gen. sp., <i>Atheraster luma</i> n. sp., <i>Atheraster phaeos</i> n. sp., <i>Atheraster umbo</i> n. sp., <i>Circeaster dux</i> n. sp., <i>Evoplosoma besseyae</i> n. sp., <i>Evoplosoma mystrion</i> n. sp. and <i>Evoplosoma pharos</i> n. sp. are newly described from Australian waters. <i>Atheraster, Circeaster</i> and <i>Evoplosoma</i> have been reported previously as predators on deep-sea octocorals. <i>Evoplosoma, Gilbertaster</i> and <i>Hippasteria</i> are members of the Hippasterinae, which have also been reported as predators on deep-sea corals and other cnidarians, suggesting that this interaction occurs in Australian deep-sea settings. <i>Atheraster, Circeaster</i> and <i>Armaster</i> are referred to a new subfamily, the Circeasterinae. Ecological and systematic implications for the Goniasteridae are discussed. An in situ observation of a myxasterid predating upon an octocoral is also reported
