    Abstract

    Neohesperilla xiphiphora (Lower, 1911) is recorded from Western Australia for the first time in the northern Kimberley. A male was collected from the mainland east of Middle Osborne Island in February 2019, extending the known geographic range approximately 500 km west of the Top End (Daly River, NT). This new location, together with previous records from the Top End and northeastern Queensland, suggests the species is distributed widely throughout the monsoon tropics of northern Australia.
