Abstract

Daploeuros reichertae sp. nov. is described from New South Wales, Australia. The species is the smallest member of the genus, easy to distinguish on the basis of the morphology of the male copulatory organs. A short supplementary description of the female of Daploeuros tasmanicus Watts and a key to identify the species of Daploeuros are provided.
