Abstract

Three new species of the genus Charon Karsch 1879 are described: Charon oenpelli from humid sandstone caves in the Northern Territory, Charon trebax from an epigean locality in north Queensland, and C. gervaisi from Christmas Island, an Australian territory situated in the Indian Ocean. The status of species formerly attributed to the genus and currently synonymized with the type species C. grayi is discussed.
