The new species are Allopauropus fraterculus sp. nov., Allopauropus inusitatus sp. nov., Decapauropus heis sp. nov., Decapauropus attenuatus sp. nov., Decapauropus ungulatus sp. nov., Decapauropus convexus sp. nov., Decapauropus saltuarius sp. nov., Decapauropus terrestris sp. nov., Nesopauropus tasmaniensis sp. nov., Stylopauropoides erectus sp. nov., Stylopauropoides rounsevelli sp. nov., Stylopauropoides quadripartitus sp. nov., Stylopauropoides scissus sp. nov., Stylopauropoides hetaeros sp. nov., Stylopauropoides eximius sp. nov., Pauropus vandiemi sp. nov. and Borneopauropus dignus sp. nov. The high level of local endemism in Tasmanian rainforest is emphasised.
