Following this, three new species of <em>Magelona</em> (<em>M. conversa, M. falcifera</em> and <em>M. gemmata</em>) were described, and published in the Proceedings of the 7th International Polychaete Conference. In this second paper, the authors describe a further three new species (<em>M. symmetrica, M. mahensis</em> and <em>M. cepiceps</em>) and present a new record of <em>M. pygmaea</em> Nateewathana and Hylleberg, 1991 &ndash; previously known only from Thailand. The taxonomic affinities of the four species are discussed and a key is provided to all seven recorded from the Seychelles.<p>&nbsp;</p> ER -
