%X Pipunculid representatives of the genera Cephalops and Beckerias in Australia are revised. Eight species, of which six (Cephalops ariadneae, sp. nov., C. caeruleimontanus, sp. nov., C. cochleatus, sp. nov., C. flaviventris, sp. nov., C. robustus, sp. nov., and C. terraereginensis, sp. nov.) are new to science, are recognised. Three species, formerly placed under Cephalops, are placed in new generic combinations: Microcephalops anthracias (Perkins), M. homoeophanes (Perkins) and M. microdes (Perkins). The relationship of the Australian fauna with other adjacent faunas is discussed, and the phylogenetic relationship of the species is reviewed. A key for the Australian Cephalops and Beckerias species is provided.
