The Australian species of Carcelia Robineau-Desvoidy are revised and the genus redescribed. C. noctuae (Curran) is confirmed as a synonym of C. illota (Curran). The subgenera Carceliella Baranov, Catacarcelia Townsend and Euryclea Robineau-Desvoidy also C.s.s. malayana Baranov are recorded from Australia for the first time. Twelve new species are described but 15 other species are left unnamed until further material is available. The new species are: actaeosa; burnsi; candens; capyrosa; flavitibia; hackeri; kindaitchin; paluma; pesitra;prominens; talwurrapin; and vicinalis. Keys to the genera of Australian Carceliini and to subgenera (five) and species (32) of Carcelia are provided; the key to species of Catacarcelia includes both Australian and Oriental species. The first-instar larva of C. hardyi (Curran) is briefly described. Knowledge of the remaining genera of Australian Carceliini is insufficient for their detailed treatment but pertinent comments on each are given. Thecocarcelia Townsend and Argyrothelaira froggattii Townsend are recorded for the first time from Australia. A diagnosis of the tribe is also given.

This paper represents a revision of the tribe Linnaemyini in Australia but also includes the description oftwo new species of Chaetophthalmus Brauer & Bergenstamm from Papua New Guinea, being the first species of this genus to be described from outside Australia. Apalpus Malloch is regarded as a synonym of Chaetophthalmus and a key is provided to separate Chaetophthalmus from Linnaemya Robineau- Desvoidy. Keys are also provided to species of Chaetophthalmus (21 species) and Linnaemya (five species). Three new synonymies are proposed in Chaetophthalmus: C. biseriatus Malloch = C. dorsalis (Malloch); C, nudistylum (Macquart) = C. bicolor (Macquart); and C, pallipes (Curran) = C. bicolor (Macquart). Eleven new species are described in Chaetophthalmus: alienus; collessi; flavocaudus; flavopilosus; formosioides; fullerae; innotatus; longimentum; occlusus; setosus; tonnoiri. Three new species are described in Linnaemya: metocha; sarcophagoides; setulosa; L. vulpinoides (Baranov) is recorded from Australia for the first time. Descriptions of the first-instar larva of some species of both Chaetopthalmus and Linnaemya are provided.

A New Species

The Australian species of Exorista Meigen are revised and the genus redescribed from these species. E. auriceps Macquart is confirmed as a synonym of E.flaviceps Macquart, and E. mungomeryi (Baranov) is synonymized with E. curriei (Curran). E. quadriseta (Baranov) is recorded from Australia for the first time. A new species is described below as E. norrisi, but five other species are left unnamed until further material is available. A key to the 14 species known in Australia is provided. Knowledge of the remaining seven genera of Exoristini in Australia is insufficient for their detailed treatment but pertinent comments on each are given. The presence of Phorinia Robineau-Desvoidy in Australia is confirmed. A partial list of the distinguishing features of the Exoristini is included.

A third species of the genus Sinhomidia is described from South China: S. unisetasp. nov. This new species can be distinguished from the two other species of the genus by the following characters: colour pattern, single labial chaeta M, chaetotaxy on terga and ventral tube, unguis with three inner teeth, and 15 clypeal ciliated chaetae.

AbstractThe first instar larva of a species of the Australian endemic genus Aenigmetopia Malloch is described for the first time, along with the first instar larvae of three other Australian species representing the genera Amobia Robineau-Desvoidy and Protomiltogramma Townsend. Larval morphology was analysed using a combination of light microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The following morphological structures are documented: pseudocephalon, antennal complex, maxillary palpus, facial mask, modifications of thoracic and abdominal segments, anal region, spiracular field, posterior spiracles and details of the cephaloskeleton. Substantial morphological differences are observed between the three genera, most notably in the labrum and mouthhooks of the cephaloskeleton, sensory organs of the pseudocephalon, spinulation, sculpture of the integument and form of the spiracular field. The first instar larval morphology of Aenigmetopia amissa Johnston, Wallman, Szpila & Pape corroborates the close phylogenetic affinity of Aenigmetopia Malloch with Metopia Meigen, inferred from recent molecular analysis. The larval morphology of Amobia auriceps (Baranov), Protomiltogramma cincta Townsend and Protomiltogramma plebeia Malloch is mostly congruent with the morphology of Palaearctic representatives of both genera.

Preimaginal stages of the six species of Hydraenidae presently known from Cuba were obtained by rearing adults in the laboratory. Eggs of Hydraena perkinsi Spangler, 1980, H. decui Spangler, 1980 and H. franklyni Deler-Hernández & Delgado, 2012 are described and illustrated for the first time. The first instar larva of Gymnochthebius fossatus (LeConte, 1855) is redescribed, adding some new remarkable morphological characters including what could be the first abdominal egg-burster reported for this family. All larval instars of H. perkinsi, H. guadelupensis Orchymont, 1923 and Ochthebius attritus LeConte, 1878 are described and illustrated for the first time, with a special emphasis on their chaetotaxy. The second instar larva of G. fossatus along with first and third instar larvae of H. decui and H. franklyni are also studied for the first time. The pupal morphology and vestiture of a species belonging to the genus Hydraena are described for the first time, based on the pupa of H. perkinsi. Biological notes for several preimaginal stages of the studied species are also given.

A study has been made of the Australian species of Aponomma and Amblyomma (Ixodoidea). Nine species of Aponomma were determined, namely A. trachysauri, A. hydrosauri, A. auruginans, A. decorosum, A. simplex, A. trimuculatum, A. tachyglossi, A, tropicum, and A. pulchrum, the last three species being new. Two previously described species, namely A. quadratum and A. ecinctum, were recognized among the material available for study. A detailed description given of each species together with essential figures. Keys to the males, females, and nymphs are included. Twelve species of Amblyomma were seen. Species previously described included A. moreliae, A. limbatum, A. albolimbatum, A. triguttatum, A. australiense, and A. papuanu. A. postoculatum and A. helvolum were not recognized among the material available for study. A. papuana is recorded from Australia for the first time. Four new species, namely A. sternne, A. echidnae, A. macropi, and A. moyi, are described. Keys to the males and females are given.
