Abstract
AbstractThe Australian endemic dung beetle Labroma Sharp, 1873 is redescribed and revised. Five species are recognised, two new: L. horrens Sharp, 1873, L. monteithi sp. nov., L. toonumbar sp. nov., L. tuberculata (Waterhouse, 1874) and L. umbratilis Matthews, 1974. The genus, hitherto only known from southwest Western Australia, is newly recorded from New South Wales. Systematics of the genus and conservation status of its species are discussed.
