| abstract | The known species of atopomeline fur-mites are listed, and keys are given to the genera and to the species of the large and essentially African gneus Listrophoides.
Two new Australian species are described: Austrochirus perkinsi, n.sp., from the koala (hascolarctos) and Atellana papilio, n.g., n.sp., rom the brush-tailed possum (Trichosurus).
Campylochirus is shown to contain only the genotype, C. chelopus, from Pseudocheirus in Tasmania.
Neolabidocarpus, from Macropus in New Guinea, of which only the hologype nymph appears to be extant, has been reexamined and shown to be an atopomeline and not a labidocarpine genus. Its exact sttus remains uncertain.
New combinatins: Listrophoroides adherens (Trouessart, 1893) and Chirodiscoides oryzomys (Radford, 1954).
New synonymy: Marquesania Womersley, 1943 = Listrophoroides Hirst, 1923, Listrophoroides trägårdhi Radford, 1940 = Marquesania expansa form queenslandica Wormsley, 1943 = Listrophoroides expansus Ferris, 1932; marquesania elongata Lawrence, 1951 = Listrophoroides mastomys Radford, 1940; Marquesania imbricata Lawrence, 1954 = Listrophoroides lemniscomys Radford, 1940; Cricetomysia andréi Lawrence, 1956 = Campylochirus chelopus Trouessart, 1893. |
