Abstract

The genus Metacoelura Salmon, 1951 is unusual as it possesses some characters typical of the family Entomobryidae and others of the Paronellidae. Three species and subspecies have been described, all from Australasian tropical regions. Me-tacoelura articulata is redescribed and a new species, Metacoelura majeri sp. nov., is described based on material collec-ted in Australia. A key to species of the genus is provided.
