Abstract

Lepidocyrtoides oliven, a new Australian species, is described in the present paper. It can be diagnosed by the presence of 2-A supplementary setae on labial triangular area and 3+3 dorsal macrochaetae on Abd. I. The supplementary setae on labial triangular area are always absent in eleven members of the genus and unknown in other three species. The dorsal macrochaetae on Abd. I are absent in nine members of the genus and unknown in 5 species. A new taxonomically useful character, bothriotrichial complex, is introduced into the taxonomy of the genus. A species list and a key to Australia species of the genus are provided.
