Two species of Glossobius Schioedte & Meinert, 1883 are known from Australia: Glossobius anctus Bruce & Bowman, 1989 and Glossobius impressus (Say, 1818), the latter recorded here for the first time from Australia and southern Africa. Glossobius ogasawarensis Nunomura, 1994 is here placed in synonymy with Glossobius auritus Bovallius, 1885; whereas Glossobius crassa (Dana, 1853) is removed from synonymy with G. auritus and placed into nomen dubium. Glossobius arimae Nunomura, 2001 is transferred to the genus Ceratothoa Dana, 1852. A key to the species of Glossobius is presented.
1883年希奥德特和迈纳特描述的格洛索比乌斯属已知有两个物种分布于澳大利亚:1989年发现的窄格洛索比乌斯以及(赛伊,1818年)印纹格洛索比乌斯,后者是首次在澳大利亚和南部非洲被记录。1994年的小笠原格洛索比乌斯被认定为1885年的耳状格洛索比乌斯的同物异名;而(达纳,1853年)粗壮格洛索比乌斯不再被认定为耳状格洛索比乌斯的同物异名,并被置于存疑名称中。2001年的有间格洛索比乌斯被转移到1852年的角铠虾属。文中还给出了格洛索比乌斯属物种检索表。
