This paper deals with nine species of Gnathostomulida from the Pacific Ocean, all in established genera. Of the nine species one is cosmopolitan ( Haplognathia rosacea (Sterrer, 1970)), four have been described previously from other localities in the Indo‐Pacific ( Cosmognathia manubrium Sterrer, 1991; Gnathostomula maldivarum Gerlach, 1958; Austrognathia nannulifera Sterrer, 1991; Austrognatharia pecten Sterrer, 1991), and four are new to science ( Pterognathia ugera sp.n.; Gnathostomula algreti sp.n.; Austrognatharia macroconifera sp.n.; Austrognatharia mooreensis sp.n.).
