SYNOPSIS A new family of Clavicornia is erected for a new monotypic genus, described from material taken in Queensland, Australia, and the affinities of this family to Languriidae and other Clavicornia are discussed. A new tribe of the family Langwiidae is erected for a new genus on two New Zealand species, Telmatophilus olivascens Broun and T. vestitus Broun, and the systematic position of the new genus is discussed.
