AB  - Large collections of Australian Syllidae (Polychaeta) from the Australian Museum (Sydney) have been examined and identified, together with material from the Hamburgische Zoologische Museum der Universität (Hamburg, Germany), as well as some specimens from other museums. All known Australian species of the subfamily Syllinae belonging to <i>Inermosyllis</i> San Martín, 2003 (1 species), <i>Megasyllis</i> n. gen. (3 species), <i>Opisthosyllis</i> Langerhans, 1879 (5 species), and <i>Trypanosyllis</i> Claparčde, 1864 (2 species), are described and figured. The Scanning Electron Microscope was used to illustrate relevant taxonomic characters and reproduction methods in these genera. <i>Inermosyllis</i> pseudohaploides is described as a new species. <i>Megasyllis</i> is described as a new genus, including <i>M. corruscans</i> (Haswell, 1885) and <i>M. heterosetosa</i> (Hartmann-Schöder, 1991) from Australia, and <i>M. inflata</i> (Marenzeller, 1879) from Japan and Australia; the species <i>M. multiannulata</i> (Aguado, San Martín & Nishi, in press) from Japan is also referred to this genus. The genus <i>Inermosyllis</i> is reported for the first time from Australia, as well as the species <i>Opisthosyllis</i> longicirrata Monro, 1939 and <i>Trypanosyllis aeolis</i> Langerhans, 1879.
