%X Two strikingly different kinds of Stenoperla larvae are recorded from Australia. For this reason, and others, a subdivision of Australian Stenoperla into two species-groups (australis group, kuna group) is proposed. The following taxa are recognized within Australian Stenoperla: S. australis Tillyard, now known from south-eastern Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales; S. denise, sp. nov., from south-eastern Queensland and eastern New South Wales; S, kuna, sp. nov., from south-eastern New South Wales and Victoria; S. macrops, sp. nov., from the peaks of Mt Bartle Frere and the Bellenden Ker Range in northeastern Queensland; S. wongoonoo, sp. nov., with the typical subspecies in south-eastern Queensland and north-eastern New South Wales, and S. wongoonoo tropica, subsp. nov., in north-eastern Queensland. S. australis is redescribed from fresh material, the new taxa are described; all forms are figured. A key is presented for the identification of all known Stenoperla in Australia (adults and larvae).
