Abstract
Haliplectus bidenticulatus n. sp., and H. seychellensis n. sp. are des cribed from islands in the Seychelles group. H. bickneri Chitwood, 195 6 and two unidentified juveniles are also recorded. H. bidenticulatus n. sp. is characterized by a relatively long body, very long midventra l ridge in the male (about 70 % of body length), two denticles at the base of the stoma and smooth valve plates. H. seychellensis n. sp. can be identified by a very short midventral ridge in the male (about 20 % of body length), a pair of prominent midventral papillae just poster ior of the cloaca or anus, and smooth valve plates.
