). The lowest number of species occurs in the South-Western and Eyrean subregions which have no endemic taxa, although these areas are also the poorest surveyed. In addition, we have recognized a further eight likely new species, but have refrained from describing them because of the limited material available and/or their poor condition. Five of these species are from the Kosciuskan subregion, two of which also occur in other subregions, one in the South-West, the other extending into the Torresian subregion. The Tasmanian, Timorian, and Torresian subregions each have a single undescribed species. It is likely that numerous additional species will be discovered in the future as more long-term collecting using a range of techniques is undertaken in specific habitats.
