A new species of the genus Carpophilus Stephens is described from Australia. This species is currently placed in the subgenus Myothorax Murray, although the group is in need of formal revision. A diagnosis is given to distinguish the new species from all other species of Myothorax in Australia. Additionally, a discussion of type material from Carpophilus described by MacLeay is added with formal lectotype designations for Carpophilus aterrimus MacLeay and Carpophilus pilipennis MacLeay. Taxonomic notes are also given for Carpophilus aterrimus MacLeay, while Carpophilus planatus Murray is removed from synonymy and treated as a valid taxon.
本文描述了一种来自澳大利亚的新的嗜尸性葬甲属（Carpophilus Stephens）物种。该物种目前被置于胸肌葬甲亚属（Myothorax Murray）中，不过该类群需要进行正式修订。文中给出了该新物种与澳大利亚胸肌葬甲亚属所有其他物种的鉴别诊断。此外，还补充了麦克利（MacLeay）所描述的嗜尸性葬甲属模式标本的相关讨论，并对暗黑嗜尸性葬甲（Carpophilus aterrimus MacLeay）和毛翅嗜尸性葬甲（Carpophilus pilipennis MacLeay）进行了正式的选模指定。同时，还给出了暗黑嗜尸性葬甲的分类学注释，而扁平嗜尸性葬甲（Carpophilus planatus Murray）不再作为异名处理，而是被视为一个有效的分类单元。
