Abstract: New fungal hosts from the Basidiomycetes (Polyporaceae) are recorded for some beetles from New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. Zopherosis georgei White (Zopheridae) and Byrsax macleayi Pascoe (Tenebrionidae) are recorded from the cosmopolitan fungus, Ganoderma applanatum (Fries) Karsten (Polyporaceae). Two species of Scaphidium, S. exornatum (Oberthur) and S. punctipenne Macleay (Scaphidiidae) are recorded feeding on two unidentified species of Poria (Polyporaceae), while Cis victoriensis Blackburn (Ciidae) feeds and breeds in Polystictus cinnabarinus (Jacq. ex Fr.) Cooke (Polyporaceae).
