Abstract

Colobothrix deckerigen. et sp. nov. (Polydesmida, Dalodesmidae) has sphaerotrichomes with very short, blunt setae and long, thin telopodites divided at the tips into short processes. Notonesocambala adocetagen. et sp. nov. (Spirostreptida, Cambalidae) has a large spine and an expanded, lamellar apex with anteriorly directed tab on the coxite process of the anterior gonopod. The two new species have recently been collected in a small part of the northwestern portion of Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Colobothrix deckerigen. et sp. nov. was also collected in 1936 on the lower Yorke Peninsula, ca 50 km distant on the South Australian mainland, but has not been found there more recently.
