Remarks. Several specimens of two species of Liposcelis were examined. As Smithers (1991) noted, these cannot be identified until further work has been done on Australian members of this genus. One species was determined by ERS, possibly incorrectly, as Liposcelis decolor (Pearman) ( Coy et al., 1993) .

‘ Liposcelis View in CoL divinatorius’ (Müller) was recorded from Tasmania by Hickman (1934). This name is now considered a nomen dubium ( Lienhard, 1990) View in CoL .
