Holcroft, L. & Stanisic, J. 156 Memoirs of the Queensland Museum | Nature  2018  61 MEQ but several species were collected from off-lying islands which in fairly recent times (approximately 15 000 ybp) were connected to the mainland. Many of the putative new species (14) have been formally described in two systematic papers which also revised existing species (Holcroft 2018c, d). In this paper we describe an additional thirteen species of MEQ Charopidae recorded by Holcroft (2018b) including some which were concealed among ‘material examined’ lists of more broadly defined species in that study. These new species are allocated to four newly diagnosed and six existing genera. We also present additional distribution data for three previously described species occurring in the region: Setomedea janae Stanisic, 1990, Discocharopa aperta (Möllendorff, 1888) and Sinployea intensa (Iredale, 1941). The latter two are new records for MEQ. A further six species are identified as putatively new from material listed in Holcroft (2018b) but are not formally described at this time because of poor quality material or material damaged during specimen preparation and handling. These damaged shells and fragments are documented and illustrated with brief accompanying remarks, not only to complete the species inventory, but more so to encourage and direct future investigations. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study is based on material revised in Holcroft (2018b). Individual specimens are identified by their registration number and respective institutional prefix (QMMO, Queensland Museum; AMSC, Australian Museum). Species not formally described are denoted by a family descriptor and alphanumeric codon that is used in both the QM’s and AM’s land snail databases to denote undescribed land snail species, e.g. Charopid MQ 43.
