Abstract
'Ampithoe' is the largest and the most complex of the ampithoid amphipod genera. The species of this genus have been recorded globally. This study reviews the Australian species of 'Amphithoe', increasing the known Australian fauna from three to 20 species, and provides a key and diagnoses to Australian species. The 17 new species are 'Ampithoe boiana' sp. nov., 'A. cookana' sp. nov., 'A. eremitis' sp. nov., 'A. geographe' sp. nov., 'A. hiana' sp. nov., 'A. hyalos' sp. nov., 'A. katae' sp. nov., 'A. meganae' sp. nov., 'A. merimbula' sp. nov., 'A. ningaloo' sp. nov., 'A. parakava' sp. nov., 'A. peronana' sp. nov., 'A. pseudongana' sp. nov., 'A. roly' sp. nov., 'A. rosema' sp. nov., 'A. rotunda' sp. nov. and 'A. ulladulla' sp. nov.
