Glycaspis dulcieana sp. n. is described, and additional Eucalyptus hosts, one of which is an endangered species in New South Wales, are recorded. Eleven Glycaspis Taylor species were reared from local eucalypts occurring in the Yeppoon area of Queensland to examine and clarify previously recorded Glycaspis/Eucalyptus species associations. Advanced techniques for the separation of insect species appear to be a requisite for some species of Glycaspis.
