Four new tilefishes of the genus Branchiostegus (Branchiostegidae) are described from southern Indonesia and northwestern Australia. These species are clearly distinguished from their congeners by combinations of: colouration, fin height, jaw length and position, shape of the preoperculum and caudal fin, body proportions and meristics. A key to all 16 species known world-wide, figures of 15 species, and a summary of their synonyms are presented.The tilefishes (Perciformes: Branchiostegidae) presently include three genera and 23 nominal species (plus five undescribed species) world-wide. One genus, Branchiostegus, previous to this paper contained 11 species plus four new species described herein. Hiramatsu and Yoshino (pers. comm.) are describing another new species from Okinawa. The closely related sand tilefishes or blanquillos (Malacanthidae) are comprised of two genera and 11 species. Branchiostegids are found
