A taxonomic revision based on morphology is presented for 10 species constituting the genus Leptochloa in Australia (7 spp.) and Papua New Guinea (3 spp.). One species from Queensland, L. ligulata, is described as new. For the first time, L. chinensis (L.) Nees is reported from Papua New Guinea, and L. divaricatissima S. T. Blake from New South Wales. L. brownii C. E. Hubb., described from northern Australia, is considered to be conspecific with L. neesii (Thw.) Benth. from tropical Asia, and L. peacockii (Maid. & Betche) Domin described from New South Wales conspecific with L. decipiens (R. Br.) Stapf ex Maid, from Queensland.

Five new species of the nudibranch genus Okenia Menke, 1830 (Goniodorididae) are described from Australian waters and the anatomy of another ten species from Australia and the Indo-West Pacific are described. Okenia purpurata sp. nov. and O. vena sp. nov. are reported from northern New South Wales where they feed on the bryozoan Amathia tortuosa Tenison Woods, 1880. Okenia mellita sp. nov. is reported from New South Wales, and a pair of species, O. hallucigenia sp. nov.and O. stellata sp. nov. are reported from various locations in northern Australia where they both feed on the bryozoan Pleurotoichus clathratus (Harmer, 1902). Okenia virginiae Gosliner, 2004 is reported for the first time from Australia as is the Atlantic species Okenia zoobotryon (Smallwood, 1910). Anatomical information for O. barnardi Baba, 1937, O. hiroi (Baba, 1938) and O. mija Burn, 1967 is provided for the first time, as is further information on O. plana Baba, 1960 and O. pilosa (Bouchet and Ortea, 1983) from Australia and Hong Kong. New observations on the bryozoan prey of various species is reported: O. mija feeding on Amathia wilsoni Kirkpatrick, 1888, O. zoobotryon on Zoobotryon verticillatum (delle Chiaje,1828), O. hiroi on an unnamed species of Integripelta Gordon, Mawatari & Kajihara, 2002, O. plana on Membranipora membranacea (Linnaeus, 1767), Jellyella tuberculata (Bosc, 1802) and Cryptosula pallasiana (Moll, 1803). Okenia japonica Baba, 1949 and O. purpureolineata Gosliner, 2004 are reported feeding on the same unidentified species of Amathia Lamouroux, 1812.

AbstractGastrointestinal helminths were collected from pademelons of the genus Thylogale (Marsupialia: Macropodidae) in eastern Australia and Papua New Guinea. Examined were 12 Thylogale stigmatica stigmatica and 13 T. s. wilcoxi, the latter subdivided into eight specimens from the northern limit of their distribution and five from southern areas, all from eastern Queensland, Australia, one T. s. oriomo from Papua New Guinea and ten T. thetis from southeastern Queensland and northern New South Wales, Australia. Six species of cestodes and 40 species of nematodes were found. The helminth community of T. s. stigmatica was similar to that found in northern specimens of T. s. wilcoxi, while differences from the helminth community present in southern T. s. wilcoxi could be accounted for by parasites acquired from sympatric T. thetis. Thylogale thetis harboured a community of helminths distinct from but related to that in T. stigmatica. The evidence suggests that all subspecies of T. stigmatica examined share a common helminth community, but that in areas of sympatry, T. stigmatica and T. thetis share some of their parasites.

This study documents the helminth assemblages of grassland melomys: Melomys burtoni (Ramsay, 1887), Melomys sp. cf. burtoni and Melomys lutillus (Thomas, 1913). In total, 22 helminth species comprising one cestode and 21 nematodes from 112 hosts were found. All the specimens of Physaloptera spp. examined proved to be Physaloptera banfieldi Johnston & Mawson, 1941 with P. troughtoni Johnston & Mawson, 1941 the junior synonym. The dominant helminth group was the trichostrongyloid nematodes including Odilia melomyos (Mawson, 1961) and O. mackerrasae (Mawson, 1961). The most prevalent, O. melomyos, occurred in each of the host species across all areas sampled (New South Wales, Northern Territory, Papua New Guinea, Queensland and Western Australia). The helminth assemblage of M. burtoni from hosts from New South Wales and Queensland was the most diverse. The helminths of M. burtoni from the Northern Territory and of M. lutillus from Papua New Guinea were subsets of that assemblage. That of M. cf. burtoni from Western Australia, with only six helminth species, was not dominated by trichostrongyloids, three of the six species were not found in other localities, and, with Sorensen’s Indices of 18.2% when compared with the helminths from Papua New Guinea and the Northern Territory and 24% when compared with Queensland, was the least similar. No substantial differences were found between the helminth assemblages of the grassland melomys group, excluding M. cf. burtoni, and Melomys cervinipes (Gould, 1852), the fawn footed melomys. This was reflected in a Sorensen’s Index of 67.9%. The time between the arrival of Melomys into Australia during the Pleistocene and the present day suggests that the trichostrongyloids O. melomyos, O. mackerrasae and O. mawsonae (Durette-Desset, 1969) may have travelled with their rodent hosts from New Guinea to Australia and other helminths in the assemblage may have been acquired in Australia.

The Australian Megisthanidae are revised, resulting in the description of five new species from passalid beetles (Coleoptera: Passalidae) in Queensland: M. manonae sp. nov. from Mastachilus australasicus; M. simoneae sp. nov. from Mastachilus polyphyllus; M. southcotti sp. nov. from Aulacocyclus fracticornis; M. womersleyi sp. nov. from Protomocoelus australis; and M. zachariei sp. nov. from Aulacocyclus kaupii. Megisthanus womersleyi is also based on material from Misima Island, Papua New Guinea, originally identified as Megisthanus doreianus Thorell, 1882. Megisthanus modestus Berlese, 1910, is redescribed based on material from Pharochilus spp. collected from Canberra, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania. The Papua New Guinean species Mastachilus papuanus Womersley, 1937 is diagnosed and discussed in relation to the other species from New Guinea. Additional collections of Megisthanus leviathanicus Seeman, 2017 and M. thorelli Womersley, 1937 are also reported. A genus description and a key to the eight Australian species of Megisthanus are provided.

The Rhytidoponera impressa group is revised on the basis of worker ant morphology, supplemented by information from ecological and genetic studies. Five species are recognized, all of which occur in mesic habitats along the east coast of Australia: chalybaea Emery (New South Wales, southern Queensland), confusa, sp. nov. (Victoria, New South Wales, southern Queensland) enigmatica sp. nov. (Sydney region, N.S.W.),impressa Mayr (Queensland) and purpurea Emery (north Queensland, New Guinea). R. purpurea is the most distinct morphologically. Of the remaining species, chalybaea and confusa are exceedingly similar and in some localities can be unequivocably distinguished only on the basis of electrophoretic (allozyme) differences. Biogeographical relationships of the impressa group are discussed in relation to past climatic and vegetational changes.

The Australian Mycodrosophila fauna comprises 21 species distributed in northern and eastern Australia to southern New South Wales. Only one species, M. argentifrons Malloch, is previously described from Australia; the south-east Asian species M. separata (de Meijere) is recorded for the first time. The remaining 19 species are new: adequate material has been available to permit the description and naming of 18 of them.
