Abstract:

Australian species of the iphimediid amphipod genus Iphimedia are revised. Based on new material from inshore and continental shelf habitats six new species are described: Iphimedia beesleyae; I. filmersankeyi; I. kateae; I. lisae; I. neuweileri, and I. oetkeri. Four established species are redescribed: Iphimedia ambigua Haswell, 1879; I. discreta Stebbing, 1910; I. edgari (Moore, 1981), and I. warraina (Thomas & Barnard, 1991). A key to Australian species of Iphimedia is provided.

Key words: Australia; Crustacea; Amphipoda; Iphimediidae; Taxonomy; New species
