The Austro-Oriental shield-bug genus Axiagastus Dallas, 1851 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomoidea: Pentatomidae: Pentatominae: Axiagastini) is revised and found to be a senior synonym of Indrapura China, 1928, syn. nov. The following Axiagastus species (including five new) are treated: A. cambelli Distant, 1911 (= Pentatoma marmoratum Montrouzier, 1855, syn. nov.), from Australia (Queensland), Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji, Samoa and Vanuatu; A. chandrashekarai Salini, Kment & Roca-Cusachs sp. nov., from Indonesia (Sulawesi); A. dubius Jensen-Haarup, 1937 from ?Singapore; A. klossi (China, 1928, Indrapura), comb. nov., from Indonesia (Sumatra); A. luteipes Salini & Roca-Cusachs sp. nov. from Myanmar; A. mitescens Distant, 1901, from China; A. prathapani Salini & Kment sp. nov., from India (Andaman and Nicobar Islands), Indonesia (Java, Sulawesi, Sumatra), Laos, Malaysia (Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak), and Singapore; A. rosmarus Dallas, 1851 (type species) from the Philippines; A. votypkai Salini & Kment sp. nov., from Indonesia (Papua), Papua New Guinea, Australia (Queensland), and A. yeshwanthi Salini, Kment & Webb sp. nov., from Cambodia, India, Japan (Ryukyus), Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Lectotypes are designated for A. cambelli, A. rosmarus and Pentatoma marmoratum. We maintain the prevailing usage of Axiagastus cambelli and an application to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature is prepared to suppress its senior but unused synonym Pentatoma marmoratum. A checklist and key to the included species of Axiagastus are provided. In addition, the species status of Acesines breviceps Stål, 1876 is discussed and the following new subjective synonymy is proposed: Acesines breviceps = Acesines bambusana Distant, 1918, syn. nov. Comments on the collections and type material of William S. Dallas, Francis Walker, Jean X. H. Montrouzier and the Macleay Museum (now part of Chau Chak Wing Museum, University of Sydney) are provided.
对澳东洋盾蝽属Axiagastus Dallas，1851（半翅目：异翅亚目：蝽总科：蝽科：蝽亚科：Axiagastini族）进行了修订，发现它是Indrapura China，1928的次同名异物，新异名。处理了以下Axiagastus物种（包括5个新物种）：坎氏Axiagastus cambelli Distant，1911（=大理石纹Axiagastus marmoratum Montrouzier，1855，新异名），分布于澳大利亚（昆士兰）、巴布亚新几内亚、所罗门群岛、斐济、萨摩亚和瓦努阿图；钱氏Axiagastus chandrashekarai Salini、Kment & Roca-Cusachs新种，来自印度尼西亚（苏拉威西岛）；可疑Axiagastus dubius Jensen-Haarup，1937，产地不明（来自新加坡？）；克氏Axiagastus klossi（China，1928，Indrapura），新组合，来自印度尼西亚（苏门答腊）；黄足Axiagastus luteipes Salini & Roca-Cusachs新种，来自缅甸；渐隐Axiagastus mitescens Distant，1901，来自中国；普拉塔帕尼Axiagastus prathapani Salini & Kment新种，来自印度（安达曼和尼科巴群岛）、印度尼西亚（爪哇、苏拉威西岛、苏门答腊）、老挝、马来西亚（马来亚、沙巴、砂拉越）和新加坡；罗斯马鲁斯Axiagastus rosmarus Dallas，1851（模式种），来自菲律宾；沃蒂普凯Axiagastus votypkai Salini & Kment新种，来自印度尼西亚（巴布亚）、巴布亚新几内亚、澳大利亚（昆士兰），以及耶什万蒂Axiagastus yeshwanthi Salini、Kment & Webb新种，来自柬埔寨、印度、日本（琉球群岛）、台湾、泰国和越南。为坎氏Axiagastus cambelli、罗斯马鲁斯Axiagastus rosmarus和大理石纹Axiagastus marmoratum指定了选模。我们维持坎氏Axiagastus cambelli的通用用法，并准备向国际动物命名委员会申请废弃其次同名异物大理石纹Axiagastus marmoratum。提供了Axiagastus所含物种的名录和检索表。此外，还讨论了短头Acesines breviceps Stål，1876的物种地位，并提出了以下新的主观异名：短头Acesines breviceps = 竹生Acesines bambusana Distant，1918，新异名。对威廉·S·达拉斯、弗朗西斯·沃克、让·X·H·蒙鲁齐埃的馆藏和模式标本以及麦考利博物馆（现为悉尼大学乔·查克·荣博物馆的一部分）进行了评论。
