Abstract
The amphipod family Colomastigidae is recorded for the first time from French Polynesia. Extensive fieldwork on coral reefs at Bora Bora and Moorea yielded in total three species, two of them new to Science. Co lomastix minuta n. sp. and C. tiahurae n. sp. are described, with a br ief discussion on the supposed affinities. Colomastix lunalilo Barnard , 1970 is new to French Polynesia.
