AbstractA new genus, Sticholeia, is erected to comprise two new species, cheesmanae and dolichostyla, from New Guinea and Vanuatu, respectively, and an unnamed female from Indonesia. Members of the new genus have two ocelli, a row of strong bristles near the hind margin of the eyes, tibial trichia arranged in regular rows, and strongly prolonged male terminalia. Despite featuring some characters supposed to be diagnostic for the subfamily Manotinae, the new genus is attributed to the tribe Leiini of Sciophilinae. The genus may represent the sistergroup of Allactoneura de Meijere plus Leiella Enderlein. Judged from the distribution of characters among Leiini the monotypic tribe Allactoneurini is rejected.

The anatomies of four well-preserved, fossilised tachyglossid skulls from Naracoorte, South Australia are described and compared with that of a fossilised skull from north-western Tasmania, with those of 13 extant Long-beaked Echidnas, Zaglossus bruijnii, from New Guinea, and with those of II Short-beaked Echidnas, Tachyglossus aculeatus. The difference in structure and proportions of the rostrums, palates and craniums of the fossil forms from those of Z. bruijnii and T. aculeatus are so great that it is concluded that the former should be placed in a new genus; the name Megalibgwilia is proposed. From the conformation of the rostrum and palate it is suggested that the principal prey of Megalibgwilia was large insects such as scarab and moth larvae, not oligochaete worms as is the case with Z. bruijnii.

Leptogenopapus mirabilis, gen. n., sp. n. is described based on the single male collected from foraging colony of Leptogenys breviceps Viehmeyer in Papua New Guinea. The genus is a member of the tribe Lomechusini (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Aleocharinae) and is most closely related to Leptogenoxenus Kistner. The list of all Staphylinidae associated with the ant genus Leptogenys Roger is given.

The genus Rhytidaspis Redtenbacher, 1891 is revised. The species R. fusca (Karny, 1911) is removed from the genus and combined with Haudrhytidaspis gen. nov. as type species, leaving only the type species R. picta Redtenbacher, 1891 in Rhytidaspis. The shapes of the male cerci and the complex structure of the male titillators in Rhytidaspis allows to differentiate between seven species and two subspecies of which six species and two subspecies are new to science: R. arfak sp. n., R. camela sp. n., R. genyem sp. n., R. nigropunctata sp. n., R. ornata sp. n., R. variata sp. n., R. variata brevis ssp. n., R. variata meja ssp. n.. A dichotomic key to species and a distribution map are provided. All records of Rhytidaspis known so far are from western New Guinea: Papua and Papua Barat (Indonesia) including Waigeo Island. Haudrhytidaspis fusca (Karny, 1911) had been described from New Guinea without precision.
