Two new genera of pseudocerotid flatworms are described from the Great
Barrier Reef, Australia and Madang, Papua New Guinea. Bulaceros, new
genus, and Tytthosoceros, new genus, resemble Pseudoceros Lang, 1884 i
n having a single reproductive system, however, their overall morpholo
gy resembles Pseudobiceros Faubel, 1984, which possesses paired male s
ystems. Bulaceros, new genus can be distinguished from other pseudocer
otid genera by its knobbed pseudotentacles, arrangement of the dorsal
eyes and small, narrow penial stylet. Tytthosoceros, new genus, can be
distinguished by its small ear-like pseudotentacles, arrangement of t
he dorsal eyes, and short, wide penial stylet.
