The subfamily Rutelinae is represented in Australia (including Tasmania) by 21 genera comprising 96 species and 6 subspecies. Of these, two species belong to the tribe Anomalini, one to the Adoretini, and the remainder to the indigenous tribe Anoplognathini. The subfamily is well represented in Queensland and in New South Wales, poorly so in Tasmania and in Western Australia. Of the two subtribes of the Anoplognathini, the Schizognathina is the more highly specialized. Some genera include forms that have sexually dimorphic modifications of the mouthparts and sensory organs that are very similar to those of some Dynastinae. The following alterations and additions are made to the taxonomy of the group : New genera. - Exochogenys, Dungoorus. New species. - Paraschizognathus brunneus, elgatus, elgatus subsp. kiewarrus, ocularis, pinarus, queenslandicus, tubrabuccae; Schizognathus rugulosus; Amblyterus deuqueti, simplicitarsus bundabergensis, tibialis; Mesystoechus costatus; Dungoorus murrumbullus. Species names placed in synonymy. - Repsirnus purpureipes Macleay (under R. aeneus (F.)) ; Calloodes nitidissimus Lea (frenchi Ohaus); Anoplognathus antiquus Arrow (Trioplognathus griseopilosus Ohaus) ; Pseudoschizognathus occidentalis Ohaus (schoenfeldti Ohaus). New combination. - Exochogenys nigripennis (Blanchard). Changes of status. - Repsimus manicatus (Swartz) var. montanus Lea given subspecific status. Genus Mesystoechus Waterhouse transferred from tribe Rutelini to tribe Anoplognathini.

Molecular Characters

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.

Two New Species

The genus Agrotera Schrank, 1802 is revised for Australia and the generic definition is refined based on the male genitalia. The genera Leucinodella Strand, 1918 stat. rev. with L. leucostola (Hampson, 1896) comb. nov., Nistra Walker, 1859 stat. rev. with N. coelatalis Walker, 1859 comb. rev., Sagariphora Meyrick, 1894 stat. rev. with S. magnificalis (Hampson, 1893) comb. nov., and Tetracona Meyrick, 1884 stat. rev. with T. amathealis (Walker, 1859) comb. rev. and T. pictalis Warren, 1896 comb. rev. are removed from synonymy with Agrotera, as they lack the synapomorphies of Agrotera. Two new species, Agrotera genuflexa sp. nov. from Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales, and A. longitabulata sp. nov. from Queensland, are described. The taxonomic status of the Australian species of Agrotera is discussed, and a key to all species, based on males, is provided. The adults and genitalia of the new species and some related species are figured.

The distribution of Wundacaenis extends from the Kimberleys in Western Australia, through the Alligator Rivers Region in the Northern Territory, and down the eastern coast to the Shoalhaven River in New South Wales.

Two new species of Achilini from eastern Australia are described and keys to the genera of Achilini in Australia, and species of the genus Anabunda, are provided. In addition, the type species of Anabunda is redescribed and the recorded distribution extended. The new species are Anabunda murrayfletcheri sp. nov. from Queensland, and A. minuta sp. nov. from New South Wales and Queensland. Both represent short-range endemic species, possibly under threat because of rapid urbanisation within their ranges. Biogeography and plant associations are discussed briefly.

Simple Seta

Two new species of kalliapseudid tanaidacea from Australia, Kalliapseudes longisetosus and Kalliapseudes messingi, are described from marine waters off Sydney, New South Wales and the Northwest continental shelf, respectively. Kalliapseudes longisetosus is distinguished from the other congeners by the presence of a single, very long simple seta on the anterior corners of the pereonites (about as long as the first pereonite) and several very long simple setae on the basis of the second and third pereopods (about as long as the basis). This new species is the second member of the genus to be reported from New South Wales. Kalliapseudes messingi is distinguished by having two small setae medially on the dactylus of pereopods 4 and 5, by the female having a tuft of sensory setae subterminally on the dactylus of pereopod 6, and by having three plumose setae on both the cheliped and pereopod 1 exopodite and is the first member of the genus to be reported from the Northwest continental shelf of Australia. Both species have a needle-like tip on the dactylus of the second and third pereopods. A table giving the distribution data for the species of Kalliapseudes and a key to the genera and species of Kalliapseudidae now known from Australia are presented.
