Phloeosporella cassiae sp. nov., which causes leaf spot in Cassia oligoclada is described and illustrated. The differences between the new species and the known species of the genus, as well as other similar fungi recorded on Cassia are discussed.

A New Species

The species-level taxonomy of Australian Mormopterus has a long history of uncertainty. In this paper we review in detail the historic problems associated with determining the relationship between the norfolkensis holotype (allegedly from Norfolk Island) and forms occurring on mainland Australia. Using external and cranial characters, we establish that the holotype is conspecific with mainland specimens and we provide a redescription of the species. We also describe a new species, Mormopterus eleryi sp. nov. from central Australia. Updated allozyme profiles (a total of 40 putative loci) show that M. norfolkensis and M. eleryi sp. nov. diverge from one another at an average of 49% fixed differences and each diverge from the ‘planiceps-beccarii-loriae’ complex at an average of 48% and 45% fixed differences respectively. While both species are readily diagnosable by external and cranial features, they are especially distinctive in the morphology of the upper molars and glans penis. Echolocation call profiles as recorded by ANABAT bat detectors also show both species to have unique search phase calls compared to other Australian Mormopterus species. Both M norfolkensis and M. eleryi sp. nov. are known from less than 30 museum specimens each.

A New Species

Snakes in the Australo-Papuan elapid genus Oxyuranus are considered to be the most venomous species in the world. A recent expedition to the central ranges of Western Australia discovered a third species, which is described here from the only known specimen. Molecular genetic analyses using mitochondrial nucleotide sequences places the new species as the sister lineage of the two described Oxyuranus species, with all three species united by a long branch that also separates them from the nearest of the brown snakes species (Pseudonaja) to which the taipans are close relatives. Morphologically, the new species shares with the other Oxyuranus an undivided anal scale, high midbody scale row (21) and ventral scale (250) counts, but differs in having a single primary temporal scale and fewer lower labials (six). Maximum body size and venom potency are unknown. The discovery of a third species of taipan in the remote central ranges of Australia underlines the paucity of collecting from this region.
