Abstract

Animal systematics and taxonomy
The male of Socca australis Framenau, Castanheira & Vink, 2022 is described for the first time based on a specimen collected in a campsite near the Fitzgerald River National Park in Western Australia. New distribution records are given for two species expanding their known distribution into additional states, S. caiguna Framenau, Castanheira & Vink, 2022 (previously known from Western Australia only, now also South Australia) and S. levyashini Framenau, Castanheira & Vink, 2022 (previously Victoria only, now also Queensland).
