Carbrunneria View in CoL presently comprises 19 described species ( Beccaloni 2024). Many were originally included in Beybienkoa Roth View in CoL but were subsequently moved by Roth (1999) to Carbrunneria View in CoL based on the presence of a gland on the seventh abdominal tergite in males and the absence of a gland on the first tergite. In addition, the radial vein of the hind wing is usually forked. However, it appears to us, based on large collections from north Queensland, that Carbrunneria View in CoL may be a composite of several genera. However, the take-home message with these cockroaches is to collect as many specimens as possible at any given locality in order to understand the degree of variation within a taxon.

We provide a name for a distinctive species from the Cattana Wetlands, C. cattana Rentz & Su , sp. nov. It is related to both C. maxi (Roth) View in CoL and C. paramaxi (Roth) View in CoL , the latter of which are often sympatric. All three live in leaf litter during the day and emerge after dark to forage on leaf surfaces.
