Twenty‐six species of Bryozoa, in the ascophoran cheilostome family Smittinidae Levinsen, 1909, are described from Antarctic and sub‐Antarctic localities. Fourteen species are considered to be new to science. Aspericreta gen. nov. is introduced for Smittina crassatina Waters, 1904, and Platychelyna gen. nov. for Cellarinella planulata Hayward, 1980.
