Two species of bryozoan cyphonautes larvae are described and illustrated from plankton tows made among coral heads in shallow waters at Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Individuals of both species settled and metamorphosed, and their ancestrulae and early astogeny are also described and illustrated. One is recognized as a formerly unknown species of Conopeum, C. ponticum sp. nov., the other is attributed to Biflustra reticulata.
