Type species. Gammarus australis Sayce, 1901 , by original designation.

For the generic diagnoses, additional description, characters of interspecific value and sexual attributes see Williams & Barnard (1988: 16--17).

Relationships. Austrogammarus is regarded as the basic (most primitive) genus of Australian paramelitids.

Composition. This genus now includes seven species: A. australis (Sayce) , A. smithi Williams & Barnard , A. haasei (Sayee) , A. sayeei Williams & Barnard , A. spinatus Williams & Barnard , A. multispinatus Williams & Barnard and A. telsosetosus n.sp. Keys to the first six of these species, based upon the most prominent specific differences, were given by Williams & Barnard (1988: 16 -17). In these keys, A. telsosetosus keys to A. multispinatus . These two species differ only slightly from each other (see remarks under Relationships below).
