Funding Acknowledgements

We gratefully acknowledge our shipboard colleagues and crew of FRV Southern Surveyor for long labours, often under trying conditions during field work off the coast of Western Australia, and to Jo Browne, David Staples and Liz Greaves who sorted the samples. We also thank Jan Watson for the detailed description of habitat and collecting method at the site where she collected Grubeulepis kurnai sp. nov. Alex Muir and an anonymous referee significantly improved the manuscript with their careful reading and critical comments. This work has been funded through the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities (CERF) program, an Australian Government initiative supporting world class, public good research. The CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub is a collaborative partnership between the University of Tasmania, CSIRO Wealth from Oceans Flagship, Geoscience Australia, Australian Institute of Marine Science and Museum Victoria.
