Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>An illustrated key to aid in separating adult females of the 64 species of <italic>C</italic><italic>ulicoides</italic> reported from the Northern Territory, Western Australia and South Australia, 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. <italic>C. asiana</italic> Bellis is proposed as a replacement name for <italic>C. asiatica</italic> Bellis.</p> </abstract>
