ABSTRACT Prionospio thalanji sp. nov., a polychaete worm of the family Spionidae, is described from a limestone cave on the Cape Range peninsula, north-west Western Australia. This is the first record of a cavernicolous spionid and is one of the few aquatic species from Cape Range caves with an immediate marine sister taxon.
