A new classification for subtribe Pterostylidinae (Orchidaceae) is formally described in which there is one genus, Pterostylis R.Br., two subgenera and 10 sections. Five new combinations are made for this classification at the ranks of subgenus and section, viz. Pt. subg. Oligochaetochilus (Szlach.) Janes & Duretto, Pt. sect. Parviflorae (Benth.) Janes & Duretto, Pt. sect. Pharochilum (D.L.Jones & M.A.Clem.) Janes & Duretto, Pt. sect. Stamnorchis (D.L.Jones & M.A.Clem.) Janes & Duretto and Pt. sect. Urochilus (D.L.Jones & M.A.Clem.) Janes & Duretto. Pt. ser. Parviflorae Benth. is lectotypified. To complete the revision, seven new species-level combinations are made for two species from Western Australia, one from New South Wales and four from Queensland, viz. Pt. anaclasta (D.L.Jones) Janes & Duretto, Pt. extranea (D.L.Jones) Janes & Duretto, Pt. pearsonii (D.L.Jones) Janes & Duretto, Pt. pedina (D.L.Jones) Janes & Duretto, Pt. sinuata (D.L.Jones) Janes & Duretto, Pt. timothyi (D.L.Jones) Janes & Duretto and Pt. thulia (D.L.Jones) Janes & Duretto.

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.

This paper contains descriptions of thirteen new Australian species of Scapheremaeus Berlese, 1910, belonging to the species groups Carinatus from New South Wales and Victoria (S. alisonae sp. nov., S. allmani sp. nov., S. nivalis sp. nov., S. tuberculosus sp. nov. and S. zephyrus sp. nov.), Patella from Western Australia and Tasmania (S. baylyi sp. nov. and S. tegulatus sp. nov.), Petrosus from New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia (S. bulbosensillatus sp. nov., S. euthemellus sp. nov., S. minjambuta sp. nov., S. notoverrucatus sp. nov. and S. truncatus sp. nov.) and Emarginatus from Queensland (S. walteri sp. nov.), Only members of the predominantly Neotropical and Australasian Carinatus species-group have been described from Australia hitherto, and Australian species constitute a third of this group. The Patella species-group is mostly Afrotropical (four spp.), with one Palaearctic and three Australasian species, including the two new species described herein. The Petrosus species-group, previously known from three Palaearctic, two Oriental and one Neotropical species, is now dominated by five new Australian species described herein. The Emarginatus species-group contains one species each from Australia, New Zealand, Java and Cuba. A key to Australian species is provided. The genus Scapheremaeus contains some 112 species, and can beconsidered hyperdiverse by oribatid standards. Morphological traits are considered that may relate to the ecological diversification and adaptive radiation of Scapheremaeus, particularly those related to species living on leaves and stems within rainforest canopies.

Two New Species

The genus Homoranthus Cunn. ex Schauer is reviewed and its distinction from Darwinia Rudge and Verticordia DC. reassessed. Excessive weighting of the degree of incision of the sepal margin has obscured the inter- and intrageneric relationships which are evident when other features are considered. The following new species of Homoranthus are described: H. biforus, H.floydii, H. lunatus, H. melanostictus, H. monianus, H. prolixus and H. zeteticorurn; and the following new combinations made for species transferred to it from other genera: H. cernuus, H. decumbens, H. homoranthoides, H. porteri and H. thomasii. Two new species of Darwinia are described: D. briggsiae from New South Wales and D. salina from South Australia.

Antiporus kalbarriensis sp.n. is described from the Murchison bioregion in Western Australia. The species appears to be restricted to backwater pools and oxbows along the Murchison River. Morphologically it is near Antiporus bakewellii (Clark, 1862) (Queensland, New South Wales), A. jenniferae Watts, 1997 (Northern Territory, N Queensland, NW Australia) and A. simplex Watts, 1978 (Queensland) but differs by the form of the median lobe, size and male proclaw. The habitat and its water beetle coenosis are described in detail. Additional distributional records for A. bakewellii and A. jenniferae are given. Altogether 15 species of Antiporus are now reported from Australia. The new species underline the importance of south-western Australia as a hotspot of diversity for Dytiscidae of the tribe Hydroporini Aubé, 1836.

The Australian Scionini belong to five subgenera of the genus Scaptia, namely: Scaptia, known from South America and Australia, with 28 Australian species; Pseudoscione, known from South America, Australia, New Guinea, and New Zealand, with 25 Australian species; Myioscaptia (7 species), Plinthina (7 species), and Palimmecomyia (2 species), known only from Australia. Many of the species suck blood, but some appear to feed only on flowers, chiefly of Leptospermum. Larvae and pupae of one species each of the subgenera Scaptia, Pseudoscione, and Myioscaptia are known. The principal concentration of species is in eastern New South Wales, with radiation north end south, and subsidiary concentrations in north Queensland and south-western Western Australia. The subgenus Plinthina has developed mainly in Western Australia. The Pleistocene glacial cycles are believed to have had a profound effect on speciation in the genus. The following new species and subspecies are described in the respective subgenera : Scaptia: barbara, B @, N.S.W., S. Qld. ; norrisi, B @, N.S.W., N. Qld. ; aurinotum, @, N.S.W. ; minuscula, B @, W.A. ; auranticula, B @, W.A. ; orba, @, N.S.W. ; alpina alpina, B @, N.S.W., Vic. ; alpina hardyi, B @, N.S.W. ; similis, B @, N.S.W., Qld. Pseudoscione: orientalis, B @, N.S.W., Vic.; guttipennis occidentalis, B @, W.A.; calabyi, B @, W.A.; neoconcolor, B @, N.Qld.; anomala, B @, N.S.W., Vic. Myioscaptia: calliphora, B @, N.S.W.; nigrocincta, @, N. Qld.; nigroapicalis, B @, N.S.W. Plinthina: nigerrima, @, N.S.W. ; subcinerea, B @, W.A. Palimmecomyia: pictipennis, @, S. Aust., ? W.A. Scaptia (Scaptia) monticola, nom. nov., is proposed for montana Ricardo nec Hutton. Two species are added to the Pangoniini: Ectenopsis (Ectenopsis) erratica (Walk.), B, W.A., previously unrecognized; and Caenoprosopon dycei, sp, nov., B, N.S.W. Ommia prisca End. is transferred from the synonymy of Ectenopsis (Parasilvius) victoriensis Ferg. to the synonymy of Mesomyia (Lilaea) lurida (Walk.), Chrysopinae.
