Abstract

Five new species of Keilbachia Mohrig are described: Keilbachia adstricta, K. constricta, K. cracens, K. fratercula and K. truncata. The species are the first sciarids recognized from New Caledonia and are similar in structure to the New Guinean K. indigena Mohrig and the Indomalayan K. adunca Hippa & Vilkamaa. A key to the Australasian species of Keilbachia is provided.
