New species include Aphelochaeta caribbeanensis n. sp .; six species of Caulleriella : C. angusticrista n . sp ., C . convexacapa n . sp ., C . microbidentata n . sp ., C. parapicula n. sp. , C . parvinasa n . sp ., and C. quadrata n. sp .; Chaetozone dossena n . sp .; three species of Kirkegaardia : K . filiformis n . sp ., K . panamaensis n . sp ., and K. playita n. sp .; and two species of Dodecaceria : D. alphahelixae n. sp. and D. dibranchiata n. sp.
