Abstract The Australian species of Teredolaemus Sharp, 1885 are reviewed, described and illustrated. A key to the Australian species and detailed distribution maps are also provided. Five new species are described: Teredolaemus mulleolus sp. nov., T. opimus sp. nov., T. amplus sp. nov., T. micropunctatus sp.nov.andT. cerinus sp. nov. The neotype of Oxylaemus leae Grouvelle, 1908 (= Teredolaemus leai (Grouvelle, 1908)) is here designated to stabilise the identity of this species. Teredolaemus pilosus Hinton, 1941 (New Britain, Papua New Guinea) is here transferred to Xylariophilus Pal & Lawrence as X. pilosus (Hinton, 1941) comb. nov. Key words Australia, distribution map, key to species, new combination, Papua New Guinea, Xylariophilus.

INTRODUCTION Teredidae and placed it in the Holarctic genus Oxylaemus Erichson, an error subsequently corrected by Lawrence (1985) The genus Teredolaemus was erected by Sharp (1885) in the in a transfer of Oxylaemus leai to Teredolaemus. Subsequently, family Colydiidae for two cylindrical beetles from Japan, Pal and Lawrence (1986) described another genus of Teredus politus Lewis, and a new species, Teredolaemus Xylariophilus Pal and Lawrence, and provided a detailed study guttatus Sharp. Sharp (1885) classified Teredolaemus in the of the free-living, mycophagous larvae of teredids, including heterogeneous tribe Deretaphrini along with Gempylodes the larva of Teredolaemus leai (Grouvelle).
