With new material available of most stages of many known Australian Paracnephia, including new species, it is now clear that certain segregates warrant assignment to new genera. This applies to Paracnephia gladiator Moulton & Adler, a Western Australia simuliid with numerous unique character states. The species is fully redescribed and assigned to Bunyipellum nov. gen. A diagnosis is provided and relationships discussed, as is historical biogeography. Bunyipellum appears to be more closely related to elements of the South American simuliid fauna than to any other Gondwanan Australian species.

The Australian genera Anomalomorpha Arrow, 1908 and Enracius Dechambre, 1999 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Pentodontini: Cheiroplatina) are revised and compared with Adoryphorus Blackburn, 1889. Anomalomorpha giveni Carne, 1957, is transferred to Erbmahcedius Hutchinson & Allsopp new genus, becoming Erbmahcedius giveni new combination. Anomalomorpha pilbara Hutchinson & Allsopp new species and Enracius richardsi new species are described from Western Australia. Keys are given to identify the three species of Anomalomorpha and the two species of Enracius and to separate all four genera from other Cheiroplatina. New distributional records are presented, and habitats of the two new species are discussed.

Species previously referred to the genus Elatichrosis Hyslop were found to consist of a number of distinct groups, and the genus is now restricted to that group surrounding the type species exarata (Candeze). 13 species are now recognized in the genus Elatichrosis s.s., of which nine are described as new, and all are entirely Australian in distribution. The new genus Lingana is proposed for the reception of illita (Candeze), and one new species from Western Australia. All extra-Australian species are now excluded from Elatichrosis.

Two new species of hippolytid shrimp are described from the continental margin of Western Australia, Lebbeus clarehannah sp. nov. from one female specimen collected off Bald Island, WA, at depths of 408–431 m and Lebbeus cristagalli sp. nov. from ten specimens collected off north-western Australia at depths of 397–458 m. Both species belong to the group of Lebbeus species possessing epipods on only the first two pairs of pereopods. Within this group, they are similar to L. yaldwyni Kensley, Tranter & Griffin, 1987 from NSW, Australia, and L. compressus Holthuis, 1947 from Japan in possessing a high crest on the carapace. These crested species of Lebbeus are reviewed. They can be distinguished from one another by the shape of the carapace crest, the number of spines on maxilliped 3 and by colour pattern. A key to all crested species and colour photos of the Australian species are provided.

The Oriental and Australasian species of Acmopolynema Ogloblin (Mymaridae) are reviewed; a key to 19 species with known females is given. The genus Baburia Hedquist is synonymized under Acmopolynema and its type species is transferred to Acmopolynema as A. narendrani (Hedquist) comb. n. Ten new species of Acmopolynema are described: A. capeyorki sp. n. (Australia), A. dilemma sp. n. (China), A. garemma sp. n. (Indonesia), A. isaura sp. n. (Indonesia), A. lurindu sp. n. (Nepal), A. neznakomka sp. n. (Papua New Guinea), A. nupta sp. n. (Nepal), A. orchidea sp. n. (Taiwan), A. problema sp. n. (India), and A. shinbana sp. n. (Malaysia). The following new synonymies are proposed: A. maculata Subba Rao and A. nixoni Subba Rao under A. orientale (Narayanan, Subba Rao & Kaur), A. reticoxilla Xu & Lin under A. longicoxillum Xu & Lin, A. himalum Hayat & Anis under A. indochinense (Soyka), and Baburia fasciata Hedquist under A. tachikawai Taguchi. The genera Chaetomymar Ogloblin and Acanthomymar Subba Rao are synonymized under Palaeoneura Waterhouse, which is redescribed along with its type species, P. interrupta Waterhouse (Australia). Ten species of Chaetomymar, 32 Australian species described originally in Polynema Haliday, Polynema nigrum (Subba Rao) (type species of Acanthomymar), and Acmopolynema unimaculatum Hayat & Anis are transferred to Palaeoneura as new combinations. Polynema ara Girault (= P. blackbourni Girault, syn. n. and P. helena Girault, syn. n.) is transferred to Richteria Girault; P. elatum Girault, P. glabricorpus Girault, P. grotiusi Girault, P. lodgei Girault and P. wallacei Girault are transferred to Agalmopolynema Ogloblin, all comb. n. from Polynema. One new genus and one new subgenus are described: Boccacciomymar gen. n., with type species Palaeoneura turneri Waterhouse (Australia) and Prosto, subgen. n. of Boccacciomymar, with type species Polynema victoria Girault (Australia). Polynema schumanni Girault and P. quadripetiolatum Girault are synonymized under Boccacciomymar (B.) turneri (Waterhouse), comb. n. from Palaeoneura. Palaeoneura evanescens Waterhouse is transferred to Boccacciomymar as B. (B.) evanescens (Waterhouse), comb. n.; Polynema aligherini Girault and P. victoria are transferred to Boccacciomymar (Prosto) as, respectively, B. (P.) aligherini (Girault), comb. n. and B. (P.) victoria (Girault), comb. n. Two new species of Boccacciomymar (Boccacciomymar) and four new species of B. (Prosto) are described: B. (B.) conquistador sp. n. (Australia), B. (B.) decameron sp. n. (Australia), B. (P.) maria sp. n. (Australia), B. (P.) nigugu sp. n. (Australia), B. (P.) pobeda sp. n. (New Zealand), and B. (P.) tak sp. n. (New Zealand). A key to the Australian Polynema-group genera of Mymaridae is provided. The Neotropical genus Xenopolynema Ogloblin, stat. rev., with type species X. areolatum Ogloblin stat. rev., is removed from previous synonymy under Polynema, reinstated as a valid genus, and re-diagnosed based on the type specimens from Argentina and new material from Chile; its relationships with Boccacciomymar are discussed.

The Family

The oniscidean fauna of Australia is generally poorly known but recent sampling has revealed a new family, Paraplatyarthridae, found in both terrestrial and groundwater calcretes of central Western Australia. The family was initially described based on a new genus and species, Paraplatyarthrus subterraneus Javidkar and King, 2015. Here we describe an additional five Paraplatyarthrus species from the Yilgarn region of Western Australia, based on both morphological and molecular evidence (COI divergences). Four species are subterranean: P. crebesconiscus Javidkar and King sp. nov., P. cunyuensis Javidkar and King sp. nov., P. occidentoniscus Javidkar and King sp. nov., and P. pallidus Javidkar and King sp. nov., and one is a surface species, P. nahidae Javidkar and King sp. nov. A key to their identification is provided along with information on their distribution. In addition, type material of the two described Australian species of Platyarthridae, Trichorhina australiensis Wahrberg, 1922 from Western Australia and T. tropicalis Lewis, 1998 from Queensland, are examined. Morphological reassessment of type material shows T. australiensis belongs to Paraplatyarthrus (comb. nov.) and that T. tropicalis is correctly placed in Trichorhina, confirming that the genus and family Platyarthridae occur in Australia.

Diptera Larvae

A new genus, Furculomyces, is established for two Australian species of trichomycete gut fungi that live in the hindguts of aquatic Chironomidae (Diptera) larvae. The new genus is based primarily on the sexual apparatus consisting of a swollen pair of homothallic conjugants that resemble a wishbone, from which develops a slightly bent biconical zygospore. The type species, Furculomyces boomerangus comb, no v. (basionym: Smittium boomerangum) has been found in Victorian and Tasmanian midges, whereas the new species, Furculomyces westraliensis, is from a midge species in southern Western Australia. These species support other evidence that native Australian gut fungi have a provincial distribution. Key words: Australian, Chironomidae, fungi, Furculomyces, Harpellales, Trichomycetes.

A complex of small scarabaeine dung beetles related to Lepanus Balthasar, 1966 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) is described, based on morphological and molecular characters. There are two new genera, six new species, and seven new combinations, including the transfer of one species to a pre-existing genus, as follows. Matthewsius Gunter & Weir new genus includes two new species, M. stricklandensis Gunter & Weir new species from central New South Wales, Australia and M. vanleeuweni Gunter & Weir new species from Pilbara region of Western Australia, Australia; two species formerly included within Aptenocanthon Matthews, 1974, M. rossi (Matthews, 1974) new combination and M. speewah (Storey & Monteith, 2000) new combination; and two species formerly included within Lepanus, M. illawarrensis (Matthews, 1974) new combination and M. penelopae (Matthews & Weir, 2002) new combination. Monteithocanthon Gunter & Weir new genus includes six species: Monteithocanthon elliotensis Gunter & Weir new species, Monteithocanthon koombooloomba Gunter & Weir new species, and Monteithocanthon paraarator Gunter & Weir new species from northern Queensland, Australia; Monteithocanthon peckorum Gunter & Weir new species from southwestern Western Australia; and two species formally included within Lepanus, Monteithocanthon arator (Matthews, 1974) new combination and Monteithocanthon glaber (Matthews, 1974) new combination. Sauvagesinella loftyensis (Matthews & Weir, 2002) new combination is transferred from Lepanus on the basis of genetic and morphological similarities.

The Western Australia fauna of Bubocorophiina (Siphonoecetini) from the Albany area in the south to Port Hedland in the north-west, a coastal stretch of about 2000 km, is reported. One new genus and 11 new species are described: Rhinoecetes sinuduopopulus sp. nov., R. rockinghamia sp. nov., R. makritrichoma sp. nov., R. lowryi sp. nov., R. caetus sp. nov., R. karkharius sp. nov., R. wamus sp. nov., R. setosus sp. nov., Borneoecetes minimus sp. nov. (first record of Borneoecetes Barnard & Thomas, 1984 from Australia); Sinoecetes reni sp. nov. (first record of Sinoecetes Ren, 2012 from Australia), and Pararhinoecetes bicornis gen. et sp. nov. In addition, Cephaloecetes enigmaticus, previously described from the southeast coast of Australia, is recorded in the Albany area. A key to Western Australian Bubocorophiina is presented, and the distribution around Australian of the genera in the subtribe is commented upon.
