The classification of the subfamily Nitidulinae is reviewed, as it applies to those species occurring within Australia and its territories. Comments are made concerning the currently recognised tribes and generic "complexes" within this subfamily, Australian genera are briefly discussed, with reference to recent and proposed changes in their classification, and several new genera and species are described. The following new taxa are described: Aenigmoronia echinodes, gen. sp. nov., Australycra similis, sp. nov., Austronitidula multimaculata, gen. sp. nov., Cychramus splendidus, sp. nov., Lasiodites howensis, sp. nov. and Temnelytron nigrum, gen. sp. nov. The following synonymy is proposed: Stelidota nigrovaria (Fairmaire, 1849) (= Aethinodes variabile Lea, 1921), syn. nov. The genus Testudoraea Kirejtshuk, 1986, stat. nov., is recognised as a distinct genus, and Perilopsis australis Kirejtshuk, 1990 is considered to be an unnecessary replacement name for Testudoraea flava Kirejtshuk, 1986.
本文对露尾甲亚科的分类进行了综述，该分类适用于澳大利亚及其领地内的物种。文中对该亚科目前认可的族和类属“复合体”进行了评论，简要讨论了澳大利亚的属，并提及了它们分类上最近的变化和拟议的变化，还描述了几个新属和新物种。描述了以下新分类单元：棘刺隐尾甲，新属新种；似澳隐尾甲，新种；多斑澳露尾甲，新属新种；华丽奇露尾甲，新种；豪岛毛露尾甲，新种；黑腹细露尾甲，新属新种。提出了以下异名：黑变星露尾甲（费尔迈尔，1849）（= 多变埃氏露尾甲，利，1921），新异名。1986年的龟露尾甲属，新地位，被确认为一个独特的属，1990年的澳洲危露尾甲被认为是1986年的黄龟露尾甲的一个不必要的替代名称。
