Remarks	The genus RhipipalloideaGirault (1934), from the Australian region is revised. Rhipipalloidea gruberi Girault (1940) is synonymised with R. mira Girault 1934. A new species, R. madangensis, is described from Papua New Guinea. This species is separated from R. mira from Australia by the distinct striation on the head, and ramose, 12-segmented antennae of the females. Males and a host for the genus are described for the first time.
