Four new species of Desudaboides Musgrave, 1927, e.g. D. fletcheri n. sp., D. melindae n. sp., D. nigrifrons n. sp. and D. rentzi n. sp. are described from Australia. A key to the species, distribution maps and colour illustrations of the five species of Desudaboides are given. Male genitalia are illustrated for D. fuscomaculata Musgrave, 1927, D. melindae and D. nigrifrons.
