Colobothrix deckeri gen. et sp. nov . (Polydesmida, Dalodesmidae) has sphaerotrichomes with very short, blunt setae and long, thin telopodites divided at the tips into short processes. Notonesocambala adoceta gen. et sp. nov . (Spirostreptida, Cambalidae) has a large spine and an expanded, lamellar apex with anteriorly directed tab on the coxite process of the anterior gonopod. The two new species have recently been collected in a small part of the northwestern portion of Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Colobothrix deckeri gen. et sp. nov . was also collected in 1936 on the lower Yorke Peninsula, ca 50 km distant on the South Australian mainland, but has not been found there more recently.
