| Abstract: | "Two species of the genus Syntherata are described as new to science: S. torresiana sp. n. is described from Torres Strait, Queensland, Australia, including its complete life history. S. buruana sp. n. is described from the Island of Buru, South Moluccas, Indonesia. For both new taxa the affinity to their nearest known relatives in Australia, New Guinea and the Moluccas is discussed. A complete checklist of the genus Syntherata is presented wherein nine taxa are moved newly into synonymy: S. cernyi Brechlin, 2010, syn. n. as synonym of S. erici Naumann, Lane & Löffler, 2009; S. hoffmanni Naumann, Lane & Löffler, 2009, syn. n., S. parvoantennata Brechlin, 2010, syn. n., and S. engaiana Brechlin, 2010, syn. n. as synonyms of S. marlenae Naumann, Lane & Löffler, 2009; S. minoris Brechlin, 2010, syn. n. as synonym of S. gracilis Naumann, Lane & Löffler, 2009; S. arfakiana Brechlin, 2010, syn. n. as synonym of S. bettinae Naumann, Lane & Löffler, 2009; S. papuensis Brechlin, 2010, syn. n. and S. okapiana Brechlin 2009, syn. n. as synonym of S. pierrei Naumann, Lane & Löffler, 2009; and S. rudloffi Brechlin, 2010, syn. n. as synonym of S. labriquei Naumann, Lane & Löffler, 2009.
