Abstract
This paper provides a summary of new and revised records of pentastomes published since 1985 and also presents a checklist of all pentastome records from Australian reptiles and amphibians. The need to identify pentastome species, through both morphological and molecular characterization, is highlighted to enable a determination of the true diversity of pentastome species and their distribution within amphibians and reptiles in Australia.
