AB  - <i>Syllidia</i> Quatrefages, 1866 (Psamathini, Hesionidae, Polychaeta) is revised based on examination of all extant types, other museum specimens, and a large number of newly collected specimens. <i>Syllidia hongkongensis</i>, new species, is described from Hong Kong and Hawaii, and <i>Syllidia armata</i> Quatrefages, 1866 from western France is redescribed. <i>Syllidia hongkongensis</i> is unique within the genus in having neuropodial lobes and neurochaetae from segment 3, rather than from segment 4. The generic names <i>Magalia</i> Marion and Bobretzky in Marion 1874 and <i>Pseudosyllidia</i> Czerniavsky, 1882 are treated as junior synonyms of <i>Syllidia</i>, and the specific names <i>Magalia assimilis</i> Pryde, 1914, <i>M. capensis</i> McIntosh, 1924, and <i>Psamathe britannica</i> Chamberlin, 1919 as junior synonyms of <i>S. armata</i>; the latter two represent new synonymies. A lectotype is designated for <i>P. britannica</i>. <i>Syllidia inermis</i> (Ehlers, 1912) from the Antarctic is treated as <i>incertae sedis</i>; it belongs within Psamathini but is not a member of <i>Syllidia</i>. <i>Syllidia liniata</i> Hartmann-Schröder, 1962 from Peru appears close to <i>S. armata</i>, but is regarded as a <i>nomen dubium</i> and requires recollection of specimens and redescription.
