Abstract
Two new species, Prosopogmus guthrieae sp. nov., with type locality 275 km NE of Meekatharra, Western Australia and P. cassiculus sp. nov., with type locality, Mt. Trafalgar, Western Australia, are described. These species join the two previously described Prosopogmus species known from Western Australia, P. insperatus Sloane, 1896, and P. occidentalis (W.J. Macleay, 1888). A neotype is designated to replace the missing holotype specimen of P. insperatus. Habitus and male genitalia images, and a key for identifying the Western Australian species of Prosopogmus are provided.
