Two new species of Metacirolana from coral reefs in Indonesia are described and Metacirolana spinosa (Bruce, 1980) is recorded for the first time in Indonesia. Metacirolana lombok sp. nov. and Metacirolana mioskon sp. nov. show similarities with several other species of Metacirolana forming a species group within the genus, characterized by small body size (2.0-3.5 mm), smooth body surfaces, weakly produced rostrum, lack of dorsal carinae and abundant chromatophores.
本文描述了来自印度尼西亚珊瑚礁的两种新的梅塔西罗拉纳属物种，并首次记录了印度尼西亚的棘刺梅塔西罗拉纳（布鲁斯，1980年）。龙目梅塔西罗拉纳新种和米奥斯孔梅塔西罗拉纳新种与梅塔西罗拉纳属内其他几个物种具有相似性，形成了一个物种组，其特征是体型小（2.0 - 3.5毫米）、体表光滑、吻部发育较弱、无背隆线且有丰富的色素细胞。
