Abstract
Thirty-three species and seven genera are recognised in Cuninae s.l. (Condylocardiidae) in Australia. Ten species are placed in Cuna Hedley, 1902, five being new (C. deltoides n. sp., C. libbyae n. sp., C. microconcentrica n. sp., C. navicula n. sp. and C. ramus n. sp.). Mimicuna n. gen. is monotypic with one new species (M. cuniformis n. sp.). Three species belong in Crassacuna n. gen. one new: C. crassisculpta n. sp. Ovacuna Laseron, 1953 is monotypic and two species are included in Propecuna Cotton, 1931. Fourteen species are placed in Warrana Laseron, 1953, eight of these new (W. brucemarshalli n. sp., W. flexuosa n. sp., W. lunata n. sp., W. pauciconcentrica n. sp., W. pellucida n. sp., W. punicea n. sp., W. triangulata n. sp. and W. westralis n. sp.). Two species are included in Westaustrocuna n. gen., both new (W. keegani n. sp. and W. albanyensis n. sp.). Several taxa are excluded from Cuninae (and Condylocardiidae). These include: Hamacuna Cotton, 1931 (type species Cuna hamata Hedley & May, 1908), transferred to Carditidae; Hamacuna radiata Laseron, 1953 is synonymised with Carditella elegantula Tate & May, 1901 and transferred to Carditellopsis Iredale, 1936, in Carditidae; Saltocuna Iredale, 1936 (type species Cuna particula Hedley, 1902) is transferred to Lucinidae, and Cuna subrotunda Cotton, 1930 to Numella Iredale, 1924, in Ungulinidae.References
