Abstract

Stimulopalpus distinctus (Psocodea: Amphientomidae) is recorded from near Cairns, Queensland, Australia. This is the first record of this species (originally described from Christmas Island) from mainland Australia, and the first record of Amphientomidae from Queensland. The live appearance of this species is illustrated for the first time. Critical comments are provided on the taxonomic identity of this species, and its status as part of the Australian fauna.
