The Pauropsalta annulata Goding & Froggatt species group is distributed (widely) in eastern Australia. This group com-prises P. annulata, P. rubristrigata (Goding and Froggatt) and P. ayrensis Ewart, with P. annulata sens. lat. containing the greatest diversity in calling songs, ecology and distribution. Previous studies have revealed that this diversity is due to the presence of several cryptic species, which together make up the Pauropsalta annulata species complex. The present study provides a revision of the Pauropsalta annulata species group and includes redescriptions of P. annulata s.str., P. rubristrigata (Goding & Froggatt) and P. ayrensis Ewart, as well as descriptions of 11 species new to science: P. blackdownensis sp. nov., P. corymbiae sp. nov., P. decora sp. nov., P. granitica sp. nov., P. inversa sp. nov., P. kobongoides sp. nov., P. notialis sp. nov., P. simplex sp. nov., P. subtropica sp. nov., P. torrensis sp. nov. and P. tremula sp. nov. In addition, two new subspecies are also described: P. n. notialis subsp. nov. and P. n. incitata subsp. nov., along with extensive areas of hybridisation, which justifies their subspecific status. Within the P. annulata species group, the P. annulata species complex is redefined to contain P. annulata s. str., P. notialis sp. nov. and P. tremula sp. nov. These species have a number of apomorphies in common and are expected to have had a single point of origin (i.e. represent a monophyletic group). To facilitate the identification of taxa in the P. annulata species group, separate keys are provided for specimens and field recordings based on morphology and calling song structure respectively. Morphological descriptions or diagnoses and descriptions of calling song structure are provided for each species and subspecies (and the hybrids between the subspecies). The descriptions are followed by a comprehensive statistical analysis of calling song specificity in the P. annulata species complex. A preliminary molecular phylogenetic analysis, focusing on species-level relationships and divergence times within the P. annulata species group, is also included.
环纹澳夜蝉戈丁与弗罗加特物种组广泛分布于澳大利亚东部。该物种组包括环纹澳夜蝉、红纹澳夜蝉（戈丁和弗罗加特）及艾尔澳夜蝉，其中广义的环纹澳夜蝉在鸣声、生态及分布方面具有最高的多样性。此前的研究表明，这种多样性是由于存在多个隐存种，它们共同构成了环纹澳夜蝉物种复合群。本研究对环纹澳夜蝉物种组进行了修订，包括对狭义环纹澳夜蝉、红纹澳夜蝉（戈丁与弗罗加特）及艾尔澳夜蝉的重新描述，以及对11个新物种的描述：黑唐斯澳夜蝉新种、伞状澳夜蝉新种、美丽澳夜蝉新种、花岗岩澳夜蝉新种、反向澳夜蝉新种、科邦澳夜蝉新种、南澳夜蝉新种、单纯澳夜蝉新种、亚热带澳夜蝉新种、托伦斯澳夜蝉新种及颤抖澳夜蝉新种。此外，还描述了两个新亚种：南澳夜蝉指名亚种新亚种及活跃澳夜蝉指名亚种新亚种，同时发现了广泛的杂交区域，这证明了它们的亚种地位。在环纹澳夜蝉物种组内，环纹澳夜蝉物种复合群被重新定义为包含狭义环纹澳夜蝉、南澳夜蝉新种及颤抖澳夜蝉新种。这些物种具有许多共同的衍征，预计有一个单一的起源点（即代表一个单系群）。为便于识别环纹澳夜蝉物种组中的分类单元，分别基于形态和鸣声结构为标本及野外录音提供了单独的检索表。对每个物种和亚种（以及亚种间的杂种）都提供了形态描述或诊断以及鸣声结构描述。描述之后是对环纹澳夜蝉物种复合群鸣声特异性的全面统计分析。还包括一项初步的分子系统发育分析，重点关注环纹澳夜蝉物种组内的物种水平关系和分歧时间。
