Eight species of Alebion are recognized as valid: A. carchariae Krøyer, A. maculatus Wilson, A. elegans Capart, A. glaber Wilson, A. gracilis Wilson, A. lobatus Cressey, and A. pacificus, new species. Other species have been placed in synonymy. The new species is described from the eastern Pacific Ocean where it is apparently endemic. The spermatophore attached to the female is shown to be a very useful character in recognizing the 8 species. The patterns of canaliculations on the surface of the postoral adhesion pad is also shown to be taxonomically important in both sexes. Keys to both sexes of the species are given.
