ABSTRACT – A collection of galatheid crustaceans from the Dampier Archipelago, north-western Australia, is studied. Six species are reported: AIlogalathea elegans (Adams and White, 1848), Galathea orientalis Stimpson, 1858, G. subsquamata Stimpson, 1858, Lauriea gardineri (Laurie, 1926), Phylladiorhynchus integrirostris (Dana, 1852) and Phylladiorhynchus nudus sp. nov. Galathea corallicola Haswell, 1888 is redescribed and its relationship with G. orientalis Stimpson, 1858 and G. coralliophilus Baba and Oh, 1990 are discussed.
