Morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA sequence data were used to revise the Australian diving beetles in the genera Allomatus Mouchamps, 1964 and Batrachomatus Clark, 1863. As a result of these studies Allomatus syn. n. is synonymised with Batrachomatus, and Allomatus nannup Watts, 1978 from SW Australia and Allomatus wilsoni Mouchamps, 1964 from SE Victoria are transferred to Batrachomatus. The four Australian Matini species knownso far are re-described, and Batrachomatus larsoni sp. n. from the Windsor Tableland in NE Queensland is described. After more than 40 years Batrachomatus wilsoni has been re-discovered in two rivers in Victoria. We delineate the species using traditionally employed morphological structures such as in the male genitalia and body size, shape and colour pattern, as well as mitochondrial cox1 sequence data for 20 individuals. Important species characters (median lobes, parameres and colour patterns) were illustrated. We provide an identification key and outline distribution and habitat preferences of each species. All Australian Matini are lotic, inhabiting permanent and intermittent streams, creeks and rivers.
利用形态特征和线粒体DNA序列数据对澳大利亚的1964年的Allomatus属和1863年的Batrachomatus属潜水甲虫进行了修订。这些研究的结果是，Allomatus syn. n. 与Batrachomatus同义，来自澳大利亚西南部的1978年的Allomatus nannup Watts和来自维多利亚州东南部的1964年的Allomatus wilsoni Mouchamps被转移到Batrachomatus属。对目前已知的四种澳大利亚Matini物种进行了重新描述，并描述了来自昆士兰州东北部温莎高原的新物种Batrachomatus larsoni sp. n.。在40多年后，在维多利亚州的两条河流中重新发现了Batrachomatus wilsoni。我们使用传统的形态结构（如雄性生殖器、身体大小、形状和颜色模式）以及20个个体的线粒体细胞色素氧化酶亚基1（cox1）序列数据来界定这些物种。展示了重要的物种特征（中叶、侧叶和颜色模式）。我们提供了一个鉴定检索表，并概述了每个物种的分布和栖息地偏好。所有澳大利亚Matini都生活在流水环境中，栖息于永久性和间歇性的溪流、小河和河流中。
