Abstract An illustrated key to aid in separating adult females of the 64 species of C ulicoides reported from the N orthern T erritory, W estern A ustralia and S outh A ustralia, and some important livestock pest species not present in these regions is presented. The key uses characters visible under a stereomicroscope and does not attempt to distinguish those species that are separable only on characters visible on slide‐mounted specimens. C. asiana Bellis is proposed as a replacement name for C. asiatica Bellis.
