The identities of the described Australasian species of Winthemia are clarified by examination of original type material and 2 new species described W. novaguinea and W. queenslandica. Notes on the type material of Oceanian and Oriental species of Winthemia are appended. Males of all species are keyed. W. neowinthemioides (Townsend) is synonymised with W. sumatrana (Townsend) and W. trichopareia (Schiner) is unlikely to be Australian.
