The genus Allothnonius Britton, 1978 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Melolonthini) is revised based on material of the two previously described Queensland species, A. barretti Britton, 1978 and A. brooksi Britton, 1978; and A. mouldsi Allsopp Smith, new species, from the northwest of the Northern Territory. The diagnostic characters of the genus are revised, distinguishing it from other Australian Melolonthini. The female of A. brooksi is described for the first time. An identification key, distribution map and notes on the natural history of the three species are included.
基于之前描述的昆士兰州的两个物种，即 Allothnonius barretti Britton，1978 和 A. brooksi Britton，1978，以及来自北领地西北部的 A. mouldsi Allsopp Smith，新物种，修订了 1978 年（鞘翅目：金龟科：鳃角金龟亚科：鳃角金龟族）的 Allothnonius Britton，属。修订了该属的鉴别特征，使其与其他澳大利亚鳃角金龟族区分开来。首次描述了 A. brooksi 的雌性。包括三个物种的鉴别特征、分布图和自然历史注释。
