A new genus and species of janiroidean Asellota, Xenosella coxospinosa, is described from the mid-bathyal slope off the coast of south-eastern Australia. Following a comparison of the new species to several families of broadly similar body shape, with emphasis on monotypic Pleurocopidae, a new family, Xenosellidae, is proposed for the new species. In the course of comparing relevant taxa, the current placements of Prethura Kensley in the Santiidae and Salvatiella Müller in the Munnidae are rejected. The two genera are considered to be incertae sedis within the Asellota superfamily Janiroidea pending further studies.

Callococcithrips gen.n. is erected for the species Rhynchothrips fuscipennis Moulton that lives only among the protective waxy secretions of an eriococcid on Kunzea in south-eastern Australia. Larvae and adults of this thrips move rapidly amongst the sticky wax strands, and their maxillary stylets are unusually long and convoluted. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the thrips is predatory on immature stages of the eriococcid. Also transferred to this genus is Liothrips atratus Moulton, based on a single female from Western Australia.

The varying concepts of Janirellidae Menzies, 1956 are outlined, including its rejection by several authors. The view of Wilson and Wägele of Janirellidae being a valid family comprising Janirella Bonnier, 1896 and presumably Dactylostylis Richardson, 1911 (= Spinianirella Menzies, 1962) is accepted. Diagnoses of the Janirellidae subsequent to Menzies’ original one were based on the inclusion of a diverse range of genera now recognised as not belonging in that family. A new diagnosis of Janirellidae is presented based on the inclusion of Janirella, Dactylostylis, and a new genus Triaina with two new species, T. isodonte and T. makridonte, from south-eastern Australia. The latter species represents the shallowest record (80 m) of the otherwise predominantly deep-water family. All species in the family are listed in an appendix, with area of type locality and depth range.

A new genus and new species of Munnopsidae Lilljeborg, 1864 is described. Nyctobadistes gen. nov. is represented by a single species, Nyctobadistes hamatus sp. nov. and was collected from off Tasmania, south-eastern Australia. Nyctobadistes gen. nov. is similar to Bathybadistes Hessler and Thistle, 1975, however, it can be distinguished from this genus by the combination of: the lack of apical setae on the dorsal body spines; the lack of lateral extensions on the natasomal pereonites; the slender carpus of at least pereopod 6; and the anterolateral margins of the pleon lack a spine and apical seta.

A new genus of Australian Phlaeothripidae is described, Klambothrips, to include a new species of gall-inducing thrips, K. myopori, that is a pest on the leaves of prostrate and upright Myoporum shrubs in California. A closely related thrips, Liothrips walsinghami Girault, is also included in this genus. This thrips is common in the coastal regions of south eastern Australia damaging the leaves of Myoporum insulare. Two further Australian thrips species are also placed in Klambothrips, both inducing leaf distortions on plants in the Asteraceae: Rhynchothrips annulosus Priesner on Cassinia, and Klambothrips oleariae sp. n. on Olearia. These thrips are all members of the “Teuchothrips complex”, and molecular data is presented indicating that the members of this complex constitute a series of separate lineages, one of which comprises the four species of Klambothrips.
