| - Little is known about the taxonomy, phylogeny or ecology of members of the family Iciliidae Dana, 1849, which has not been revised since 1910. In this paper we redefine the only genus Icilius, redescribe the known species, Icilius australis Haswell, 1879, I. danae Stebbing, 1888, I. ovalis Dana, 1852 and I. punctatus Haswell 1879, and describe the new species, I. caledoniana, I. crinocolus and I. pulchellus. We present new information Oil Cuticular structures that appear to be similar to those found in calliopiid and oedicerotid amphipods. We also present new evidence that indicates precopulatory behavior in iciliids may involve enlarged male pereopods 3 and 4, an independently derived mechanism for mate guarding, and we show for the first time that iciliids are suspension feeders that live in association with sponges, gorgonaceans, echinoderms, soft corals and algae.
