The Bentart Projects aim to study the benthos of West Antarctica (South Shetland Islands, Antarctic Peninsula and Bellingshausen Sea). In this paper, one genus and two species new to science ( Neomenia expleta sp. nov. and Plicaherpia papillata gen. and sp. nov.), as well as an incomplete juvenile of Phyllomenia sp. and an anterior body of Amboherpia sp. are studied, all collected during the expedition Bentart-2006 to the Antarctic Peninsula and Bellingshausen Sea and belonging to the families: Neomeniidae Ihering, 1876, Phyllomeniidae Salvini-Plawen, 1978 and Acanthomeniidae Salvini-Plawen, 1978.
