This study reviews the charopid land snails of mid-eastern Queensland possessing finely cancellate sculpture on the protoconch. Microscopic features of shell sculpture and qualitative and quantitative measurements of conchological features are utilised to delimit species due to lack of animal material suitable for DNA analysis. This study confirms the generic status of Pereduropa Stanisic, 2010 and Isolderopa Stanisic, 2010 and expands the brief descriptions of the species previously described in these genera. One new species of Pereduropa, P. burwelli sp. nov. and three new species of Isolderopa viz. I. teemburra sp. nov., I. diamante sp. nov. and I. whitsunday sp. nov. are described. A new genus, Tristanoropa gen. nov., is diagnosed for two new species T. hughesae sp. nov. and T. conwayensis sp. nov. Mollusca, Eupulmonata, Charopidae, protoconch sculpture, finely cancellate, new genera, new species.

A new semi-slug, Fastosarion comerfordae sp. nov., is described from the higher elevations of Eungella National Park in mid-eastern Queensland. Historically the species has been considered to be conspecific with F. superba (Cox, 1871) from Mt Dryander, mid-eastern Queensland. Differences in external animal features and penial anatomy are shown to separate the new species from F. superba.

Thirteen new species of charopid land snail are described from mid-eastern Queensland rainforests. These are assigned to four newly diagnosed genera: Hirsutaropa sarina gen. et sp. nov., Burwellia staceythomsonae gen. et sp. nov., Albiropa microscopica gen. et sp. nov., Eungellaropa crediton gen. et sp. nov. and six existing genera: Lenwebbia marissae sp.nov., Omphaloropa subvaricosa sp. nov., Amfractaropa southpercyensis sp. nov., Comularopa wendyae sp. nov., Isolderopa gloucester sp. nov., Tristanoropa southmolle sp. nov., Tristanoropa summerae sp. nov., Tristanoropa jaxut sp. nov. and Tristanoropa hazelwood sp. nov. An additional six species are recognised formally but not formally described due to poor quality material. New distribution data is presented for Setomedea janae Stanisic, 1990, Discocharopa aperta (Möllendorff, 1888) and Sinployea intensa Iredale, 1941. The latter two represent new records for mid-eastern Queensland. A short discussion on the potential implications of the expanded MEQ charopid fauna for east coast biogeography is presented. Gastropoda, Eupulmonata, Charopidae, new genera, new species, mid-eastern Queensland.

Many of the putative new species (14) have been formally described in two systematic papers which also revised existing species (Holcroft 2018c, d). In this paper we describe an additional thirteen species of MEQ Charopidae recorded by Holcroft (2018b) including some which were concealed among ‘material examined’ lists of more broadly defined species in that study. These new species are allocated to four newly diagnosed and six existing genera. We also present additional distribution data for three previously described species occurring in the region: Setomedea janae Stanisic, 1990, Discocharopa aperta (Möllendorff, 1888) and Sinployea intensa (Iredale, 1941). The latter two are new records for MEQ. A further six species are identified as putatively new from material listed in Holcroft (2018b) but are not formally described at this time because of poor quality material or material damaged during specimen preparation and handling. These damaged shells and fragments are documented and illustrated with brief accompanying remarks, not only to complete the species inventory, but more so to encourage and direct future investigations. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study is based on material revised in Holcroft (2018b). Individual specimens are identified by their registration number and respective institutional prefix (QMMO, Queensland Museum; AMSC, Australian Museum). Species not formally described are denoted by a family descriptor and alphanumeric codon that is used in both the QM’s and AM’s land snail databases to denote undescribed land snail species, e.g. Charopid MQ 43.

在昆士兰中部热带雨林中发现了13种新的棘足蜗牛。这些被分配到4个新诊断的属:Hirsutaropa sarina gen. et sp.nov., Burwellia staceythomsonae gen. et sp.nov., Albiropa microscopica gen. et nov., Eungellaropa crediton gen. et nov.和6个现有属:Lenwebbia marissae sp.nov.。另有6个物种已被正式认定,但由于材料质量差而未被正式描述。本文介绍了1990年janae Stanisic, 1990年distomedea aperta (Möllendorff, 1888年)和1941年sinployia intensa Iredale的新分布资料。后两者代表了昆士兰州中部的新记录。本文简要讨论了MEQ扩大对东海岸生物地理的潜在影响。腹足动物,棘足动物,棘足动物科,新属,新种,昆士兰中部。Holcroft, L. & Stanisic, J. 156昆士兰博物馆回忆录| Nature ready 2018 ready 61 MEQ,但有几个物种是从最近(大约15000 ybp)与大陆相连的近海岛屿收集的。许多假定的新物种(14种)已在两篇系统论文中正式描述,这些论文也修订了现有物种(Holcroft 2018c, d)。在本文中,我们描述了Holcroft (2018b)记录的另外13种MEQ Charopidae物种,包括一些隐藏在该研究中定义更广泛的物种的“材料检查”列表中的物种。这些新种被分配到4个新诊断的属和6个现有的属。我们还提供了在该地区发生的三种先前描述的物种的额外分布数据:Setomedea janae Stanisic, 1990, Discocharopa aperta (Möllendorff, 1888)和Sinployea intensa (Iredale, 1941)。后两者是MEQ的新纪录。根据Holcroft (2018b)中列出的材料,另外六个物种被认定为推定的新物种,但由于材料质量差或在标本制备和处理过程中材料损坏,目前尚未正式描述。这些损坏的贝壳和碎片被记录下来,并附有简短的注释,不仅是为了完成物种清单,而且是为了鼓励和指导未来的调查。材料和方法本研究基于Holcroft (2018b)修订的材料。单个标本由其注册号和各自的机构前缀标识(QMMO,昆士兰博物馆;AMSC,澳大利亚博物馆)。未被正式描述的物种由家族描述符和字母数字密码子表示,该密码子用于QM和AM的陆地蜗牛数据库中,以表示未被描述的陆地蜗牛物种,例如Charopid MQ 43。Holcroft对博物馆的干藏品(用RC表示)中的标本进行了贝壳特征的调查,并在Holcroft (2018b)中进行了详细介绍。精神标本记为SC。评分的性状包括壳高度和直径、轮数、第一轮上的肋数和脐宽度。采用Solem(1983)的方法,将轮数精确到1/8轮。使用WILD M5立体显微镜对标本进行研究,使用带有显微镜附件的NIKON 4200 Coolpix相机拍摄贝壳照片。使用位于昆士兰博物馆数字成像单元的vision Digital BK-Plus实验室系统摄像机装置获得了贝壳的高分辨率图像(260-600MB)。使用昆士兰博物馆的TM1000台式扫描电子显微镜对贝壳雕塑进行了调查和拍摄。贝壳是用超声波清洗机清洗的,而不是用化学方法,以防止显示许多贝壳雕塑元素的骨膜被去除。研究中使用的贝壳大多是从凋落叶中回收的,偶尔非常脆弱。在某些情况下,清洁过程和随后的处理导致壳体损坏,有些情况很严重,仅用插图作为壳体形态和其存在的证据。常用缩写:通用:SEM,扫描电子显微镜;SC,精神收藏;RC,干收集。机构:AM,澳大利亚博物馆,悉尼;昆士兰博物馆,布里斯班。生境数据:alt,海拔;Ck,小溪;中环麦凯海岸;Cnvf,复合无机藤本林;高温超导、高度;我,岛;Mts,山;nophyl藤本林;R,河;Ra、范围;七,半常绿藤本灌丛;昆士兰中东部MEQ;NP,国家公园;NSW,新南威尔士;NENSW,新南威尔士州东北部;昆士兰东北部NEQ;SEQ,昆士兰东南部;SF,国家森林;WT,湿热带。

Recent field surveys have collected more information on the poorly known species, Lerista rochfordensis. Previously known only from one dry rainforest patch of around 2 000 hectares in northern Queensland, the species was discovered in a neighbouring patch, 8 km distant, itself about 1 600 hectares in extent. The two populations are separated by cleared grazing land and the Kirk River, an ephemeral tributary of the Burdekin River. Statistically significant but comparatively small genetic and morphological divergence was observed between the two populations, suggesting they should still be considered conspecific under the Evolutionary Species Concept but are undergoing allopatric speciation.

A new species of Amoria Gray, 1855 (Gastropoda, Volutidae) is described from shells dredged off the Australian mid-east coast (Cape Moreton, Queensland and Tweed Heads, New South Wales). Amoria thorae sp. nov. shows a number of similarities in shell form and/or colour pattern to two other small Amoria, A. necopinata Darragh, 1983 and A. benthalis McMichael, 1964 and to the much larger A. undulata (Lamarck, 1804) but can be readily distinguished from these and all other members of the genus by the combination of small shell size, fusiform shape, high spire, equal-sized thick columellar plaits and a single, large undulation of the axial lines.
