AFD has Nimbopsocus australis: https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Nimbopsocus_australis and

Myopsocus australis: https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Myopsocus_australis;Myopsocus The Atlas of Living Australia also has entries under both names:

https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/ee555f1e-b0ae-4df3-92f0-f98d2fa762dd

https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/345ac449-ad4d-485c-acdf-d042d117f390

The 2nd of these Myopsocus australis includes the statement:

In 2004, the valid name for Myopsocus australis became Nimbopsocus australis. This name change stands undisputed. For more details, see Wikispecies: https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nimbopsocus_australis It seems to me probable that both AFD and ALA should merge the two species under the name: Nimbopsocus australis
