%X The Australian members of the genus Drosophila are reviewed, with redescriptions of many species; 40 new species are also described, bringing the known total to 81. A key to species is provided. The Australian Drosophila fauna is dominated by members of the subgenus Scaptodrosophila, most of which appear to be endemic. The bulk of the Australian Drosophila fauna is substantially different from that of neighbouring New Guinea-south-east Asia, but the latter fauna overlaps into northern Queensland. The Australian fauna includes eight cosmopolitan species.
