%X The Australian Gomphidae belong in the subfamilies Ictinogomphinae and Gomphinae. The three ictinogomphine species are placed in the widespread genus Ictinogomphus Cowley: I. australis (Selys), I. dobsoni (Watson), and a new species, I. paulini. The gomphine genera are endemic, and fall into two groups, the Hemigomphus and Austrogomphus groups. The first contains Hemigomphus Selys [H. comitatus (Tillyard), H. gouldii (Selys), H. heteroclytus Selys (type species), plus four new species, H. atratus, H. cooloola, H. magela, H. theischingeri], Armagomphus Carle [type- and only species A. armiger (Tillyard)] and the new genus Odontogomphus, comprising two new species, O. donnellyi (type species) and O. longipositor. The second includes Antipodogomphus Fraser [A. acolythus (Martin), A. hodgkini Watson, A. neophytus Fraser, A. proselythus (Martin) (type species) plus two new species: A. dentosus, A. edentulus], and Austrogomphus Selys, divided into five subgenera, Austrogomphus Selys [A. angeli Tillyard, A. arbustorum Tillyard, A. australis Dale in Selys, A. collaris Hagen in Selys, A. cornutus, sp. nov., A. doddi Tillyard, A. guerini (Rambur) (type species), A. mjobergi Sj&ouml;stedt, A. ochraceus (Selys) and A. pusillus Sj&ouml;stedt], Austroepigomphus Fraser, stat. nov. [A. melaleucae Tillyard, A. praeruptus (Selys) (type species)], plus three new subgenera, Pleiogomphus [A. amphiclitus (Selys) (type species), A. bifurcatus Tillyard, A. prasinus Tillyard, plus a new species, A. divaricatus], Xerogomphus [A. gordoni Watson, A. turneri Martin (type species)], and Zephyrogomphus [type- and only species A. lateralis (Selys)]. Lectotypes are designated for Hemigomphus heteroclytus Selys and Antipodogomphus neophytus Fraser, and neotypes for Austrogomphus gouldii Selys and Austrogomphus collaris Hagen in Selys. Data are provided on the larvae of endemic genera, and on the distributions and habitats of species, all of which are keyed.
