A taxonomic treatment is provided for the Australian fauna of the soldier fly subfamily Hermetiinae, including a diagnosis of the subfamily based on the Australian fauna, a key to the two genera found in Australia, and a key to Australian species of Hermetia Latreille, 1804. The Australian fauna is illustrated and revised, including the redescription and selection of a lectotype for Hermetia pallidipes Hill, 1919, and description of the new species Hermetia hauseri Lessard & Woodley, sp. nov. and Hermetia olympiae Lessard & Woodley, sp. nov. A new monotypic genus, ApisomyIa Woodley & Lessard, gen. nov., is described, based on ApisomyIa bathae Woodley & Lessard, sp. nov. Six genera are now recognised in the Hermetiinae, with two genera and five species known from Australia. [Correction added on 31 January 2019: Genus “Apisomya” and type species “Apisomya bathae” have been corrected to “Apisomyla” and “Apisomyla bathae” respectively in the abstract.]
