Paradiscogaster leichhardti sp. nov. (Digenea: Faustulidae) is described from the intestine of Chaetodontoplus meredithi (Perciformes: Pomacanthidae) from the southern Great Barrier Reef. The new species is distinguished by its elongate, spindle-shaped body and vitellarium which forms separate groups at the level of the anterior and posterior ends of the cirrus-sac. This is the second species of Paradiscogaster reported from pomacanthid fishes.

The Australian species of Hishimonus Ishihara are reviewed. Three new species are added to the fauna: H. leichhardti sp. nov, H. malipatili sp. nov. and H. spatulatus sp. nov. Hishimonus diffractus Dai & Fletcher, is recorded from Australia for the first time and H. passiflorae (Evans) is redescribed. H. melaleucae (Kirkaldy) is excluded from the genus. A key for the determination of the Australian species of Hishimonus is provided. The relationships of the Australian fauna with the Oriental fauna are briefly discussed.

Descriptions of Marathonichthys coyleorum gen. et sp. nov. and Stewartichthys leichhardti gen. et sp. nov. add to the recognised diversity of the Lower Cretaceous (Late Albian) fish fauna of the marine Toolebuc Formation of the Eromanga Basin, Queensland, Australia. Both taxa are referrable to the elopomorph Order Albuliformes. The new taxa are morphologically distinct from both extant and fossil albulids by having their subepiotic and subtemporal fossae poorly developed and in exhibiting separation or apparently partial separation of the parietals by dorsal development of the supraoccipital. The parietal in Stewartichthys is triradiate. Coarse ornamentation of the dorsal neurocranial roof and its much shallower and broader otic region separates M. coyleorum from S. leichhardti. Euroka dunravenensis Bartholomai, 2010, also from the Toolebuc Formation, is much larger than either of the new taxa and has its parasphenoid broadened, much shortened posteriorly and anteriorly complex. It is concluded that early evolutionary radiation of the Albuliformes in the Late Albian epeiric inland sea of the Eromanga Basin was reasonably extensive and diverse.
对Marathonichthys coyleorum gen. et sp. 11和Stewartichthys leichhardti gen. et sp. 11的描述增加了澳大利亚昆士兰州Eromanga盆地海洋Toolebuc组下白垩世(晚Albian)鱼类区系的公认多样性。这两个分类群都可归为卵形目白鹭形目。新分类群在形态上不同于现存的和化石的白蛋白,它们的下窝和颞下窝发育不良,并且由于枕上的背侧发育而表现出顶骨的分离或明显的部分分离。石竹鱼的顶骨是三辐状的。背神经颅顶粗糙的纹饰及其更浅和更宽的脑区将M. coyleorum与S. leichhardti分开。Euroka dunravenensis Bartholomai, 2010,同样来自Toolebuc组,比这两个新分类群都要大得多,其副似形体变宽,后部和前部复杂得多。结果表明,Eromanga盆地晚Albian期内海白鹭形类的早期演化辐射相当广泛和多样。

Kanekonia leichhardti, new species, is described from three specimens dredged on soft bottom in the eastern Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia. It is distinguished from its three congeners by a combination of mostly smooth skin with minute, sparsely distributed velvety scales, long snout, narrow head and body, slightly notched predorsal profile, low anal-fin ray and lateral-line tube count, and distinctive configuration of the interorbital ridges (interorbital ridges not prominently sculptured, converging anteriorly to form an inverted Y shape, the symphysis above a vertical from the middle of the eye, and continuing as a single ridge to the base of the first dorsal-fin spine). The species appears to be rare and possibly endemic to the waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria. Wide-ranging surveys conducted with similar gear on the north-west shelf of Western Australia and coastal and inter-reef soft bottom habitats from Torres Strait south throughout the entire length of the Great Barrier Reef have failed to collect any further specimens.

A new species of the pseudoscorpion genus Pseudotyrannochthonius (family Pseudotyrannochthoniidae) is described from Warrumbungle Range in New South Wales based on morphological features of both males and females. Pseudotyrannochthonius leichhardti sp. nov. is the fourth described species from New South Wales and known only from the type locality. It represents the most inland record of any Pseudotyrannochthonius in Australia.

Leichhardtithrips evanidus gen. et sp. nov., a wingless, fungus-feeding species of Phlaeothripidae, is described from a single female taken in D’Aguilar National Park, Brisbane. This species has exceptionally reduced sclerotisation rendering systematic comparisons of the new genus difficult. The cylindrical form of the eighth antennal segment is unique in the family, and the compound eyes are not developed on the ventral surface of the head.

We describe a new species of the spider family Mysmenidae, Mysmena leichhardti sp. nov., and provide detailed additional morphological and behavioral information of M. tasmaniae. M. tasmaniae is known to occur and has been collected exclusively in Tasmania. In contrast, we have recently collected several specimens of M. leichhardti sp. nov. from Queensland, therefore representing the first formal description of a mysmenid species from mainland Australia.
