The present study is a review of all known Australian and New Zealand orbiniid species with their redescription based mainly on the collection of the Australian Museum (Sydney). A total of 28 species were examined: seven species of Scoloplos , three species of Leitoscoloplos , five species of Leodamas , three species of Naineris , two species of Orbinia , three species of Phylo , one species of Proscoloplos , and four species of Protoariciella. Leodamas australiensis (Hartmann-Schröder, 1979) is the new combination. Illustrated descriptions and an identification key for Australian and New Zealand orbiniids are provided.
