Taxonomy and biogeography of the hygrophilous Australian Clivinini, of the arbouricolous Australian genus Sarothrocrepis, and of the ground-living Harpaline genus Phorticosomus. Taxonomic revision of the mentioned groups and description of numerous new species, redecription of the already described species, and preparation of keys to the species.Examination of the phylogenetic relations of the genera or species-groups within genera, of their origin, the history of their distribution, and their relations to extra-Australian genera and species.Important questions are:Clivinini: Change of hygrophílous habits to the life on the ground in tropical and subtropical open forests and savannahs away from water. Reasons for the evolution of so many hygrophilous species in a prevailing dry continent.Sarothrocrepis: Question of the original habits: under bark of eucalypts in open forest, woodland, and savannah, or on bark or in moss on the trunks of rainforest trees.Phorticosomus: Question of the group membership of the genus. Question of the origin: in tropical, seasonal wet savannahs, or in semiarid/arid steppe or semidesert.

分类学和植物学的湿澳大利亚Clivinini，乔木栖澳大利亚属Sarothrocrepis，和地面生活Harpaline属Phorticosomus。对所提到的类群进行分类学修订，并描述许多新种，重新描述已描述的种，编制种检索表。研究属或属内种群的系统发育关系，它们的起源，它们的分布历史，以及它们与澳大利亚以外的属和种的关系。重要的问题是：Clivinini：喜湿习性的改变，使其变为远离水的热带和亚热带开阔森林和稀树草原的地面生物。在一个普遍干旱的大陆上进化出如此多的喜湿物种的原因。Sarothrocrepis：原始习性的问题：在开阔的森林、林地和萨凡纳草原的桉树树皮下，或在热带雨林树木树干上的树皮或苔藓上。Phorticosomus：属的组成员问题。原产地问题：产于热带、季节性潮湿的稀树草原，或半干旱/干旱草原或半荒漠。
