Abstract
A new family Lophocoronidae is proposed in the Dacnonypha for the new genus Lophocorona, with three new species from southern Australia, L. pediasia, L. astiptica, and L. melanora. Comparative notes are given on the adult morphology of this and other families referred to the Dacnonypha, especially the Agathiphagidae.Keywords
