Three New Species

Three new species of the desmodoroid genus Onyx are described from ocean beaches of northern New South Wales, Australia: Onyx macramphis, sp, nov., Onyx adenophorus, sp. nov., and Onyx cannoni, sp. nov. The genus Onyx is revised, the status of the type species, O. perfectus Cobb, 1891, is discussed and an annotated list of the species of the genus is presented. The precaudal position of the caudal glands in O. adenophoius prompts a discussion of the significance of the precaudal position of caudal glands in free-living marine nematode taxonomy in general.

This is the first of a series describing new turbellarian and nematode species collected during March and April 1992, on eulittoral sandy shores of Southern Queensland and northern New South Wales, Australia. The environment and all sampling sites are described. Four new species of Macrostomida (Dunwlchia arenosa, gen. et sp. nov., Bradburia australiensis, gen. et sp. nov., Macrostomum australiense, sp. nov., and Macrostomum sp. based only on female sexual maturity) were found in eulittoral habitats of sandy beaches, flats and brackish-water creeks.

AbstractA new genus of Monoscutidae (Arachnida: Opiliones), Australiscutum, containing three new species, A. hunti (type species), A. graciliforceps and A. triplodaemon, is described from Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. Australiscutum triplodaemon differs from all other Opiliones described to date in possessing noticeably asymmetrical chelicerae, with the right chelicera much larger than the left.

Morphological Investigations

Three new myxomycete species, Tubifera glareata, T. tomentosa and T. vanderheuliae, are described on the basis of morphological investigations and the partial 18S rDNA barcoding. Tubifera vanderheuliae, collected in Tasmania and New South Wales, is characterized by small, bouquet-shaped pseudoaethalia, cylindrical sporothecae somewhat extended at the top, and the largest spores known thus far within the genus (7.5–10.5 μm). Tubifera glareata, found thus far only in Tasmania, is somewhat similar to T. applanata found in the Holarctic region, but differs from the latter by the larger spores, absence of ring-like ornamentation on the peridium, and the smaller subspherical pseudoaethalia. Tubifera tomentosa, also collected in Tasmania, differs from the related species T. dudkae by the conspicuous amorphous felt-like cover on the surface of the pseudoaethalia.

The morphological and genetic characteristics of the mountain brushtail possum (Trichosurus caninus) are described for animals from a range of locations throughout its known geographic distribution in eastern Australia. Although there is considerable variation among populations, unequivocal morphological and genetic differences exist between northern and southern populations of the species. Specimens from southern populations (from Victoria) have a significantly (P < 0.001) larger ear conch, a significantly (P < 0.001) longer pes, and a significantly (P < 0.001) shorter tail than do specimens from northern populations (from New South Wales and Queensland). Animals can be clearly distinguished using a simple index based on these three morphological measures, which are gathered from live animals. North–south dimorphism is strongly supported by patterns in genetic data that show genetic distances of 2.7–3.0% between the southern and northern populations. The combined outcomes of morphological and genetic analyses suggest the existence of two distinct species. We recommend that the northern form, distributed from central New South Wales north to central Queensland, retain the name Trichosurus caninus; the southern form from Victoria is described here as Trichosurus cunninghami, sp. nov. The common names of these new species should be the 'short-eared possum' and the 'mountain brushtail possum', respectively.

Three New Species

A new genus, Wundacaenis, is erected for three new species of Australian caenid mayflies. The genus is diagnosed by possession of distinctive lobes on the anterolateral margins of the mesonotum. The distribution of Wundacaenis extends from the Kimberleys in Western Australia, through the Alligator Rivers Region in the Northern Territory, and down the eastern coast to the Shoalhaven River in New South Wales.

A New Species

The stiletto fly subfamily Agapophytinae is diverse and species rich in Australasia, with numerous undescribed species. A new species of Acraspisoides Hill & Winterton, A. monticola sp. nov., is described from females collected in montane localities in eastern Australia. Eight new species of Bonjeania Irwin & Lyneborg are also described, raising the total number of known species to 18. Five new species, B. affinis sp. nov., B. apluda sp. nov., B. bapsis sp. nov., B. webbi sp. nov. and B. zwicki sp. nov., all have a distinctive, forward-protruding head with antennae on a raised tubercle. Two other new species, B. argentea sp. nov. and B. jefferiesi sp. nov., are closely related to B. segnis (White), with very similar shaped male genitalia and body shape. An eighth species, B. lambkinae sp. nov., is closely related to B. clamosis Winterton & Skevington. Bonjeania and Acraspisoides are diagnosed and revised keys to species presented. An unusual new therevid, Vomerina humbug gen. et sp. nov., is also described and figured based on a series of males from New South Wales. This new genus likely represents the sister taxon to Bonjeania.

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.

Herein four new species of Lepidocyrtoides are described and illustrated: three from Brazilian Amazon, L. caeruleomaculatus sp. nov., L. colormutatus sp. nov. and L. bicolorangelus sp. nov., all similar to each other by macrochaetotaxy reduced; and L. hopkini sp. nov. from New South Wales, Australia. Lepidocyrtoides tapuia comb. nov. (Arlé & Guimarães) and L. villasboasi comb. nov. (Arlé & Guimarães) are redescribed and transferred from Lepidosira Schött due to projection of mesothorax over head and manubrial plate with blunt macrochaetae. Neotypes are designated to both species. The holotype of L. oliveri Liu, Chen & Greenslade is analyzed and details of the dorsal chaetotaxy are added. Keys to the five species of the genus from Brazil and six from Australia are provided. Lepidocyrtoides now is recorded from the New World, South and Southeast Asia and Oceania, and the records of Lepidosira in the American continent are excluded.
