Austrocarabodes ensifer (Sellnick, 1931) is redescribed and illustrated based on adult specimens using optical microscopy
as well as scanning electron microscopy. Aokiella florens Balogh & Mahunka, 1967 and Singabodes rarus Mahunka, 1998
are redescribed and figured based on adult specimens using optical microscopy only. These three species are the type species
of their respective genera, thus allowing us to redefine each. Although it is likely that Singabodes may be a synonym for
Aokiella, further study is necessary to resolve the uncertainty
