Abstract
New data are reported on Australian aegid isopods of the genera Aega, Rocinela and, new to Australia, Alitropus. Aega laevis (Studer) is redescribed. New synonymies reported are A. meinerti (= A. serripes), A. ommatophylax (= A. vigilans) and A. spongicola (= A. nodosa). The status of A. cyclops is questioned. The following species are described: A. lethrina sp. nov., A. coroo sp. nov. and A. beri sp. nov. Descriptive notes and figures are given for A. quadratisinus and A. synopthalma. R. oculata and Alitropus typus are recorded for the 1st time from Australia. Discussion is given on the taxonomy of the family.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
