Abstract 

The Australian members of the carabid tribe Migadopini are revised. A new genus and four species and one additional subspecies are newly described: Dendromigadops gen. nov. with the species D. alticola sp. nov. from mountains on Atherton Tableland in North Queensland and D. gloriosus sp. nov. from Mt. Glorious in South-east Queensland, Stichonotus decoloratus sp. nov. from Tasmania, Calyptogonia lynetteae sp. nov. from north-western Tasmania, and Cayptogonia atra occidentalis subsp. Nov. from western Tasmania. The genera Nebriosoma Castelnau, 1867, Stichonotus Sloane, 1910, Decogmus Sloane, 1915, and Calyptogonia Sloane, 1920 are partly redescribed and the male genitalia and female gonocoxites of all species are figured. Keys to the genera of the Australian Migadopini and to the species of Dendromigadops, Stichonotus, and Calyptogonia are provided. According to the structure of their female gonocoxites Dendromigadops belongs in the subtribe Migadopina and is related to Decogmus and Calyptogonia, but in body shape it is quite distinct from all described Australian genera of the subtribe.
