Abstract
Two new genera, Maiazoon nov. gen. and Phrikoceros nov. gen. are descr ibed respectively from Madang, eastern Papua New Guinea and the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The monotypic genus Maiazoon resembles Nympho zoon Hyman, 1959 since it possesses multiple male reproductive systems and multiple female pores although the latter genus lacks a penial st ylet and sucker. Phrikoceros, with five new species, morphologically r esembles Pseudobiceros although it possesses only one male reproductiv e system as found in Pseudoceros.
