Seven species of ampithoid amphipods are reported from subtidal macroalgae living in Port Jackson, Sydney, Australia. In the genus Ampithoe the Indo–West Pacific species Ampithoe kava Myers, 1985, is recorded for the first time from Australia, and two new species, A. caddi, sp. nov. and A. ngana, sp. nov., are described. One new species ofCymadusa,C. munnu, sp. nov., is described. The genera Exampithoe (Melanesius), Peramphithoe and Plumithoe are recorded for the first time from Australian waters. The new species E. (M.) kutti, sp. nov. and Peramphithoe parmerong, sp. nov. are described, and Plumithoe quadrimana (Haswell, 1879b), comb. nov. is redescribed and a neotype is selected. New ecological and behavioural information is presented for these species. A new key and diagnoses for all known genera of Ampithoidae are presented. Paradusa Ruffo, 1969 is synonomised with Cymadusa Savigny, 1816.Exampithoe (Melanesius) gracilipes Ledoyer, 1984 is transferred to Exampithoe (Exampithoe) and Cymadusa uncinata Stout, 1912 and C. variata Sheard, 1936 are transferred to Paragrubia.

Two New Species

The genus Agrotera Schrank, 1802 is revised for Australia and the generic definition is refined based on the male genitalia. The genera Leucinodella Strand, 1918 stat. rev. with L. leucostola (Hampson, 1896) comb. nov., Nistra Walker, 1859 stat. rev. with N. coelatalis Walker, 1859 comb. rev., Sagariphora Meyrick, 1894 stat. rev. with S. magnificalis (Hampson, 1893) comb. nov., and Tetracona Meyrick, 1884 stat. rev. with T. amathealis (Walker, 1859) comb. rev. and T. pictalis Warren, 1896 comb. rev. are removed from synonymy with Agrotera, as they lack the synapomorphies of Agrotera. Two new species, Agrotera genuflexa sp. nov. from Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales, and A. longitabulata sp. nov. from Queensland, are described. The taxonomic status of the Australian species of Agrotera is discussed, and a key to all species, based on males, is provided. The adults and genitalia of the new species and some related species are figured.

First Time

Nine new species of epibenthic amphipods are described from the Solitary Islands, mid-north coast, New South Wales, Australia. Material was collected on natural habitats and from a range of small plastic artificial substrates. Protohyale pusilla (Chevreux, 1907) is reported from Australia for the first time. The subgenus Telsosynopia Karaman, 1986 is given generic status and Regalia juliana Lowry & Springthorpe, 2005 is transferred to Tepidopleustes in the pleustid subfamily Austropleustinae. New species include: Protohyale solitaire sp. nov. (Hyalidae); Ericthonius rodneyi sp. nov. and Ericthonius forbesii sp. nov. (Ischyroceridae); Liljeborgia polonius sp. nov. (Liljeborgiidae); Elasmopus arrawarra sp. nov. and Hoho cornishi sp. nov. (Melitidae); Gammaropsis legoliath sp. nov. (Photidae); Tepidopleustes coffsiana sp. nov. (Pleustidae); and Telsosynopia trifidilla sp. nov. (Synopiidae).

Two New Species

Chitinozoa have been recovered from three sections within the Garra Limestone in central New South Wales, Australia. A total of 31 species are identified and two new species, Angochitina hypenetes and Bursachitina mawsonae, are described. Three stratigraphically distinct assemblages from the late Lochkovian to the early Pragian are distinguished and compared with faunas of a similar age from Europe and northern Africa.

Senior Synonym

Paragalaxias dissimilis (Regan), which has not been reported since description from 'New South Wales' in 1905, is shown to be a senior synonym of P. shannonensis Scott, 1935, from Great Lake, Tasmania. Two new species of Parugalaxias, one from Great Lake and another from Arthurs Lake nearby, are described.

Two New Species

Two new species of Achilini from eastern Australia are described and keys to the genera of Achilini in Australia, and species of the genus Anabunda, are provided. In addition, the type species of Anabunda is redescribed and the recorded distribution extended. The new species are Anabunda murrayfletcheri sp. nov. from Queensland, and A. minuta sp. nov. from New South Wales and Queensland. Both represent short-range endemic species, possibly under threat because of rapid urbanisation within their ranges. Biogeography and plant associations are discussed briefly.

Simple Seta

Two new species of kalliapseudid tanaidacea from Australia, Kalliapseudes longisetosus and Kalliapseudes messingi, are described from marine waters off Sydney, New South Wales and the Northwest continental shelf, respectively. Kalliapseudes longisetosus is distinguished from the other congeners by the presence of a single, very long simple seta on the anterior corners of the pereonites (about as long as the first pereonite) and several very long simple setae on the basis of the second and third pereopods (about as long as the basis). This new species is the second member of the genus to be reported from New South Wales. Kalliapseudes messingi is distinguished by having two small setae medially on the dactylus of pereopods 4 and 5, by the female having a tuft of sensory setae subterminally on the dactylus of pereopod 6, and by having three plumose setae on both the cheliped and pereopod 1 exopodite and is the first member of the genus to be reported from the Northwest continental shelf of Australia. Both species have a needle-like tip on the dactylus of the second and third pereopods. A table giving the distribution data for the species of Kalliapseudes and a key to the genera and species of Kalliapseudidae now known from Australia are presented.

Two New Species

The discovery of a new genus of Heatherellidae in New Zealand has led us to revise this enigmatic family and its constituent genera. Aheatherella n. gen., based on A. mira n. sp. from the North Island of New Zealand, lacks some of the derived character states that link the Australian Heatherella, most notably the lack of sexual dimorphism in the dorsal shields and in the presence of peritremes in adult Aheatherella. Heatherella osleri n. sp. is described from New South Wales, extending the distribution of this genus beyond Queensland. New collection records of H. callimaulos and a key to the genera and species of the family are provided. We propose that the Heatherellidae—previously placed in its own cohort outside the Gamasina—are best considered a superfamily of gamasine mites within the subcohort Epicriiae.

Annotated Checklist

The prostigmatic mites (excluding Trombiculidae) parasitic on, or associated with, Australian vertebrates are reviewed, and keys and illustrations are provided to enable separation of all 45 genera and 121 species recognised. Two new species are described: Paraspeleognathopsis exaeta sp. nov. (Erynetidae), from the nasal passages of the marsupial Petaurus breviceps in New South Wales, and Radfordia hydromys Fain sp. nov.

New synonymy in Ereynetidae: Boydaia Womersley, 1953 = Coboydaia Fain, 1971b; Neospeleognathopsis Fain, 1958b = Pteropignathus Fain & Lukoschus, 1979b; Psittaboydaia Fain, 1985 = Trichoglossiella Fain, 1985; in Myobiidae: Australomyobia dasycercus Fain, 1973a = A. d. antechinus Fain & Lukoschus, 1979d; Calcarmyobia miniopteris (Womersley, 1941a) = C. o. orianae Uchikawa, 1985c; Ewingana bispinosa Radford, 1948 = E. b. longispina Fain & Lukoschus, 1979c; Radfordia Ewing, 1938 = Pseudoradfordia Dubinin, 1957a = Syconycterobia Fain, 1973b; in Demodecidae: Demodex equi Railliet, 1893 = D. caballi Desch & Nutting, 1979a; D. ovis Railliet, 1893 = D. aries Desch, 1987; in Leeuwenhoekiidae: Odontacarus Ewing, 1929 = Leogonius Vercammen-Grandjean, 1968.
