Abstract
The Australian endemic dung beetle Labroma Sharp, 1873 is redescribed and revised. Five species are recognised, two new: L. horrens Sharp, 1873, L. monteithisp. nov., L. toonumbarsp. nov., L. tuberculata (Waterhouse, 1874) and L. umbratilis Matthews, 1974. The genus, hitherto only known from southwest Western Australia, is newly recorded from New South Wales. Systematics of the genus and conservation status of its species are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Austral Entomology is a scientific journal of entomology for the Southern Hemisphere. It publishes Original Articles that are peer-reviewed research papers from the study of the behaviour, biology, biosystematics, conservation biology, ecology, evolution, forensic and medical entomology, molecular biology, public health, urban entomology, physiology and the use and control of insects, arachnids and myriapods. The journal also publishes Reviews on research and theory or commentaries on current areas of research, innovation or rapid development likely to be of broad interest – these may be submitted or invited. Book Reviews will also be considered provided the works are of global significance. Manuscripts from authors in the Northern Hemisphere are encouraged provided that the research has relevance to or broad readership within the Southern Hemisphere. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least two referees expert in the field of the submitted paper. Special issues are encouraged; please contact the Chief Editor for further information.
