%X A summary is presented of the results of Drosophila collections made in Queensland and northern New South Wales by generalized sweeping of rain forest foliage, leaf litter and flowers. The species collected by sweeping are largely different from those attracted to fruit or mushroom baits or found on forest fungi. Species diversities are highest in north Queensland, and most species are restricted to the rain forests of basaltic soils. Four new species are described and a new species-group, the zentae group, is established in the subgenus Hirtodrosophila.
