Abstract
Two new species of Australian crane fly are described, illustrated and with COI sequences included: Gynoplistia (Gynoplistia) lutruwita Billingham & Theischinger sp. nov., and Molophilus (Molophilus) serricauda Billingham & Theischinger sp. nov., both from the Huon Valley region of southern Tasmania. Their affinities with other known Australian species are discussed.
