Abstract

Nine described species and subspecies of Paronellides and Pseudoparonella (Paronellidae) from Australia are redescribed and illustrated from topotypical and other material. The presence of colour pattern species of Paronellides is noted from Tasmania. A check list of Paronellidae species known from Australia and a key to genera is provided. New records of three species of Salina from northern Australia and its off-shore territories are documented.
