The penicillate genus Unixenus Jones, 1944 is widespread, with species found in Africa, Madagascar, India and Australia. Each of the two Australian species was originally described from single samples from Western Australia. In this study, collections of Penicillata from museums in all states of Australia were examined to provide further details of the two described species, to revise the diagnoses for both the genus and the species, and to better understand the distribution of the two species in Australia. In addition, two new species Unixenus karajinensissp. n. and Unixenus corticolussp. n. are described.
帚霉属（Unixenus Jones，1944）分布广泛，在非洲、马达加斯加、印度和澳大利亚均有发现。澳大利亚的两个帚霉物种最初都是根据西澳大利亚的单一标本描述的。在本研究中，对澳大利亚所有州博物馆收藏的帚霉标本进行了检查，以提供这两个已描述物种的更多细节，修订该属和物种的诊断，并更好地了解这两个物种在澳大利亚的分布。此外，还描述了两个新物种，卡拉金帚霉（Unixenus karajinensissp. n.）和树皮帚霉（Unixenus corticolussp. n.）。
