TL;DR: The Australian members of the Scutelleridae are revised and the following new synonymy is recognized: Coleotichus discrepans Walker, 1867, and Calliscyta australis Distant, 1899 is a junior synonym of Choerocoris stalii (Vollenhoven, 1863).
Abstract: The Australian members of the Scutelleridae are revised. Twelve species are recognized. Descriptions, diagnostic measurements and keys are provided for the identification of these species. The following new synonymy is recognized: Coleotichus discrepans Walker, 1867, C. sordidus Walker, 1867, C. nigrovarians Walker, 1867, and C, testaceous Walker, 1867, as junior synonyms of Coleotichus artensis (Montrouzier, 1858); Philiafulgurans, Stal 1873, P. aerea Distant, 1892, P. femorata Distant, 1899, and P. insignis Schouteden, 1904, are junior synonyms of Lampromicra senator (Fabricius, 1803); and Calliscyta australis Distant, 1899 is a junior synonym of Choerocoris stalii (Vollenhoven, 1863). Choerocoris stalii (Vollenhoven, 1863) is transferred from Calliscyta. A new subfamily, Tectocorinae, is erected for Tectocoris Hahn, 1834.

Abstract: The genus Calliphara is described. Its 15 species and 6 additional subspecies are classified into 4 species-groups on the basis of the morphology of the male genitalia, and a key is provided for their separation. Calliphara solomonensis sp. nov. from the Solomon Is. and C. vollenhoveni sp. nov. from the Bismarck Archipelago are described.
A synonymic catalogue of all species-group taxa within the genus is given. Fifteen lectotype designations are made. The history and relationships of Calliphara are discussed. Notacalliphara gen. nov. is founded for Calliphara rostrata Distant, and Notacalliphara pseudofasciata sp. nov. from New Guinea is described. Paracalliphara gen. nov. is founded for Calliphara flagrans (Walker).
