Abstract:
Australian beachworms, recognized by specialists as one species Onuphis teres (Ehlers 1868), and by fishermen as a number of forms, were studied to determine whether more than one species was involved. Monthly sampling at a study site (Narrabeen, New South Wales) and collections from other localities were undertaken to study the morphology of beachworms, electrophoretic mobility of glucosephosphate isomerase and aspects of their life history. Three forms of beachworms-slimy, stumpy and kingworm-occur at the study site. Stumpies were found to be young kingworms, while slimy represents a separate species. The two species belong to Americonuphis Orensanz, 1974; the name is preoccupied and is replaced with Australonuphis. The holotype of A. teres is a kingworm and the closely related slimy is described as A. Parateres, sp. nov. Four other forms of beachworms were collected from northern New South Wales and Queensland: stripey, giant, wiry and white-headed wiry. These forms are referred to Onuphis. Stripey and giant are morphologically distinct and are described as O. taeniata, sp. nov., and O. gygis, sp. nov., respectively. Wiry and white-headed wiry belong to a polymorphic species described as O, mariahirsuta, sp. nov.Keywords:

Three new species of Schendylurus Silvestri 1907 are described, i.e. S. coscaroni n. sp. from State of São Paulo, Brazil; S. demartini n. sp. from Province of Misiones, Argentina and S. placcii n. sp. from Province of Formosa, Argentina. Seven further species of the same genus are redescribed, viz., S. bakeri Chamberlin 1914 (after the holotype); S. demelloi Verhoeff 1938 (after the lectotype and paralectotype); S. fieldi (Chamberlin 1944) (after the holotype); S. iguapensis Verhoeff 1938 (after the holotype); S. olivaceus Crabill 1972 (after the holotype); S. parahybae (Chamberlin 1914) (after the holotype); S. paulista (Brölemann 1904) (after the holotype). Additional data on S. demangei Pereira 1981 are given (after the holotype). New material is cited of S. mesopotamicus Pereira 1981 and S. pampeanus (Pereira & Coscarón 1976). The new combination S. parahybae (Chamberlin 1914) is presented, this species originally described under Adenoschendyla Brölemann & Ribaut 1911, being transferred from Pectiniunguis Bollmann 1890. A key is provided for the identification of the species of Schendylurus from Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.

The holotype of Drymobius heathii Cope (now Mastigodryas heathii) has remained unrecognized since the species was described in 1876. A review of specimens and associated data in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia shows that one specimen, ANSP 11544, is very likely the holotype of this species. The presumptive holotype is redescribed and the coloration in life and natural history and other data for this species from northern Peru are presented. Mastigodryas heathii occurs in lowland coastal desert scrub and dry deciduous forests of the Pacific slope and interandean valleys. Its diet includes frogs, lizards, and rodents.
