Abstract
A new genus, Lamingtonacarus, gen. nov., and two new species, L. oreillyorum, sp. nov. and L. posidonis, sp. nov., are described from adults and deutonymphs collected from water-filled treeholes in an Australian subtropical rainforest. This constitutes the first described species of Algophagidae from Australia. The discovery of a deutonymphal instar in the ontogeny of L. oreillyorum, sp. nov. is the first for a member of the subfamily Algophaginae.https://doi.org/10.1071/IT99021
