The genus Lepidocyrtus Bourlet is currently considered to consist of eight subgenera of which Setogaster Salmon is one. Here we describe three new species in this subgenus, L. agricolus sp. nov., L. coorongensis sp. nov., and L. nashi sp. nov. It appears to be the most widespread and numerically dominant subgenus of Lepidocyrtus in Australia. The three new species live in different habitats and in different parts of the continent. It is assumed they are endemic species, one is likely to be a short range endemic. The characters and a list of species of the Lepidocyrtus praecisus-group, and an identification key for the Australian species of genus Lepidocyrtus are provided.
目前认为 Lepidocyrtus 属由八个亚属组成，其中之一是 Setogaster Salmon。本文描述了该亚属中的三个新种，即 Lepidocyrtus agricolus sp. nov.、Lepidocyrtus coorongensis sp. nov. 和 Lepidocyrtus nashi sp. nov.。它们似乎是澳大利亚 Lepidocyrtus 属中分布最广、数量最多的亚属。这三个新种生活在不同的栖息地和大陆的不同地区。可以假设它们是特有种，其中一种可能是短距离特有种。本文提供了 Lepidocyrtus praecisus 组的特征和物种列表，以及澳大利亚 Lepidocyrtus 属物种的鉴定钥匙。
