Pelican spiders of the genus Austrarchaea Forster & Platnick, 1984 (family Archaeidae) are well represented in the tropical rainforests of central-eastern and north-eastern Queensland, with nine species currently described. However, this monophyleytic tropical fauna remains poorly documented relative to other lineages of Archaeidae from subtropical and temperate regions south of the St Lawrence Gap, with numerous additional species likely still unnamed. Here, we describe a new species from the Central Mackay Coast bioregion of central-eastern Queensland. Like other Australian Archaeidae, it is a short-range endemic taxon, known only from upland rainforest habitats in the Whitsunday hinterland near Airlie Beach. We show its clear morphological affinities to a closely related species from Eungella National Park, and further provide live habitus images and habitat information.

A new species from the genus Cephalodesmius Westwood (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) is described from the Cental Mackay Coast bioregion, Queensland extending the northern range of the genus. Cephalodesmius carminya Ebert & Gunter new species is known from two localities in the Pine Mountain, Carminya Forest Reserve and 2.5 km west of Eungella dam. A key to the four species of Cephalodesmius is provided and we discuss morphological similarities between Cephalodesmius and its closest relative Canthonosoma Macleay.

Hibbertia axillibarba was described in 2000 as a short-range endemic species known only from South Ironcap, a semi-arid, banded ironstone hill in the Western Australian southern Goldfields. Subsequently, several specimens collected from sandplain habitats in the Western Australian wheatbelt, varying from close to, to distant from, South Ironcap, were determined as H. aff. axillibarba or H. cf. axillibarba at the Western Australian Herbarium. Close study of these specimens has shown that none matches H. axillibarba, which on current knowledge remains endemic on South Ironcap; instead, they comprise three distinct species, which are described here as Hibbertia arenicola K.R.Thiele, H. erioclada K.R.Thiele and H. elachophylla K.R.Thiele & T.Hammer. A fourth new species, H. lanulipes K.R.Thiele, is included in this paper as it is likely to be related to the others, despite being morphologically quite different from them. None of these species is widespread and some are likely to be rare and restricted.
Hibbertia axillibarba于2000年被描述为一种短程特有物种，仅产于西澳大利亚南部金矿区的南铁帽（South Ironcap）半干旱带状铁石山。随后，在西澳大利亚标本馆，从西澳大利亚小麦带沙原栖息地采集的几个标本被确定为 H. aff. axillibarba 或 H. cf. axillibarba。对这些标本的仔细研究表明，没有一个与 H. axillibarba 相符，根据目前的知识，它仍然是南铁帽的特有种；相反，它们包括三个不同的种，在此描述为 Hibbertia arenicola K.R.Thiele、H. erioclada K.R.Thiele 和 H. elachophylla K.R.Thiele & T.Hammer。第四个新种，H. lanulipes K.R.Thiele，也包括在本文中，因为它很可能与其它新种有关，尽管在形态上与它们有很大不同。这些物种都不广布，有些可能是稀有和局限性物种。

Hemigenia glaucissima, a rare species from south-western Western Australia, is here described with associated photographic images and distribution map. The new species is restricted to mallee eucalypt woodland in the south-eastern wheatbelt region of the state. Currently, it is only known from two nearby populations that were first collected during botanical surveys for a mining project near Parker Range.

A new species of Phascolion (Phascolion) Cutler & Cutler, 1985 from the benthos off Exmouth, Western Australia, is described. Phascolion (P.) exmouthensis sp. nov. can be readily distinguished from other members of the subgenus by the presence of distinctive rectangular papillae which form a collar on the anterior trunk (a new morphological feature for sipunculans), and introvert hooks with non-recurved tips and a narrow base on the bulbous area immediately behind the mouth. The new species and P. (P.) ushakovi Murina, 1974 are the only two (out of 13) species of Phascolion (Phascolion) known from Western Australia.

Panops (Diptera: Acroceridae: Panopinae) is a distinctive genus of "spider fly" previously known from eight species occurring in Australia, and one species from Indonesia. Herein, another species is described, Panops infrequens sp. nov., currently known from one female specimen collected near Seal Bay on Kangaroo Island (South Australia) in 2008. This is the first record of Panops from Kangaroo Island and the tenth species of the genus to be described. The biology of this species is unknown, however, extant members of Panops are thought to be endoparasitoids of Mygalomorphae.
