A systematic study has been made of the species of Haemaphysalis occurring in Australia. Six species were recognized in the material examined, namely H. humerosa, H. ratti, H. bremneri, H. lagostrophi, H. bispinosa, and H. bancrofti. Two of these, H. lagostrophi and H. bremneri, are new species, and H. ratti is recorded from Australia for the first time. H. novaeguineae recorded by Nuttall and Warburton (1915) from Queensland and the Northern Territory was not seen. A detailed description with appropriate figures is given for the known stages in the life cycle of each species, together with data on host range and geographical distribution. Keys are presented for the males, females, and nymphs and a classified host list has been included.

A systematic study has been made of the species of Ixodes (Ixodidae) occurring in Australia. Nineteen species were recognized in the material available for examination, namely I. uriae, I. kohlsi, I. eudyptidis, I. pterodromae, I. simplex simplex, I. vespertilionis, I. ornithorhynchi, I. tasmani, I. hydromyidis, I. australiensis, I. victoriensis, I. fecialis, I. antechini, I. vestitus, I. holocyclus, I. confusus, I. cornuatus, I. hirsti, and I. trichosuri. Four of these, I. antechini, I. cornuatus, I, confusus, and I. trichosuri, are regarded as new species and I. simplex simplex and I. pterodromae are recorded from Australia for the first time. I. rothschildi recorded by Arthur (1953) from Western Australia was not encountered. A detailed description with appropriate figures is given for each species, including all known stages in the life cycle, together with data on host range and geographical distribution. Keys are supplied for the known males, females, nymphs, and larvae and a classified host list has been compiled.

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.

Species Being

A study has been made of the Australian species of Aponomma and Amblyomma (Ixodoidea). Nine species of Aponomma were determined, namely A. trachysauri, A. hydrosauri, A. auruginans, A. decorosum, A. simplex, A. trimuculatum, A. tachyglossi, A, tropicum, and A. pulchrum, the last three species being new. Two previously described species, namely A. quadratum and A. ecinctum, were recognized among the material available for study. A detailed description given of each species together with essential figures. Keys to the males, females, and nymphs are included. Twelve species of Amblyomma were seen. Species previously described included A. moreliae, A. limbatum, A. albolimbatum, A. triguttatum, A. australiense, and A. papuanu. A. postoculatum and A. helvolum were not recognized among the material available for study. A. papuana is recorded from Australia for the first time. Four new species, namely A. sternne, A. echidnae, A. macropi, and A. moyi, are described. Keys to the males and females are given.

Abstract We describe Hedruris dratini n. sp. (Nematoda, Hedruridae) from Hydromedusa tectifera and Phrynops hilarii in Argentina based on morphological and molecular characters. Also, we provide information about its life cycle. The new species differs from other species of the genus by possessing the excretory pore, nerve ring and deirids at equal distance from the anterior end. Additionally, H. dratini n. sp. has mammilated eggs and males possess nine pairs of caudal papillae. The subadults and adults of H. dratini n. sp and H. orestiae were characterized by sequencing the small subunit ribosomal DNA (18S). We present for the first time a life cycle of a species of Hedruris that includes an amphipod as intermediate host and a reptile as definitive host. Furthermore, we analysed the host and geographic distribution of all Hedruris species. Although the genus has a cosmopolitan distribution and parasitizes a great host diversity, the majority of species have a Gondwanian distribution, with amphibians being the preferred hosts.
