Carayonia australiensis sp.n. from north Queensland and the Northern Territory and Wardamanocoris formosus gen.n., sp.n. from the Northern Territory are described and illustrated as the first representatives of Visayanocorinae from Australia. The new genus is treated as an aberrant member of the Visayanocorinae. The original descriptions of Carayonia Villiers and Visayanocorinae are expanded to accommodate the new taxa.
