AbstractThe genus Mitelloides Evans is revised. Three species are recognised and described; M. moaensis Evans (the type species) and two new species, M. thorntonensís and M. mouldsi. A key to the males of the genus is provided, and the known distributions of all species are mapped. The genus is known only from north-east Queensland, the Torres Strait Islands, and Papua New Guinea.

Scincid lizards belonging to the genus Carlia are found in eastern and northern Australia and in New Guinea andassociated islands. These skinks are a particularly diverse component of the reptile fauna of north-east Australia. Carliapectoralis (de Vis 1884) was formerly regarded as occurring over much of eastern Queensland, in north-east Australia.Here we show that it consists of four species: Carlia pectoralis, Carlia decora sp. nov., Carlia rubigo sp. nov. and Carliainconnexa Ingram & Covacevich 1989 (which was formerly described as a subspecies of C. pectoralis). Herein, wedescribe two new species, elevate C. p. inconnexa to full species status with a revised description, and redescribe C.pectoralis sensu stricto. The four species differ in aspects of scalation, morphology and colour pattern. Carlia decora sp.nov. occurs in vine thickets, rainforest margins and moist open forests in high rainfall coastal areas of mid-east and north-east Queensland. Carlia rubigo sp. nov. occurs in dry open forests of inland eastern Queensland and in some coastal areasof mid-eastern Queensland. Carlia pectoralis is distributed through open forests of south-east Queensland. Carliainconnexa is restricted to rocky open forests on islands of ‘the Whitsundays’ off mid-eastern Queensland. The addition of these three species brings the number of Australian Carlia to 22 species, 17 of which are found in Queensland.

Neoclerada parainsulicola sp. nov., Paramahisa kununurraensis sp. nov., and Laticlerada tasmanica sp. nov., have been described and illustrated. Cleradini are generally found in tropical habitats; the first two new species are described from tropical northern Australia, whereas the last species is the first record of Cleradini for cool temperate Tasmania.

Two New Species

The “Hamopontonia corallicola” Bruce, 1970 species complex is partly revised. The type species of the genus, H. corallicolaBruce, 1970, is redescribed based on material from Northern Australia. Additionally, two new species of the genus associatedwith hard corals are described from Lizard Island, the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Hamopontonia fungicola sp. nov. isassociated with fungiid coral Heliofungia actiniformis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1833) and H. physogyra sp. nov. is associated withcaryophyllid coral Physogyra lichtensteini Milne-Edwards & Haime, 1851. Both species clearly differ from their congeners indistinctive coloration and morphological features. A differential key and remarks on coloration of all described species of the genus are provided.
