Lanthanomyia australis De Santis, 1967: 5 –6; 1972: 63. Heydon and Hanson 2005: 160 –161.

Diagnosis. Females of L. australis are medium to large-sized (body length> 3.0 mm) with the microsetae of the body brown and semierect. The body color is orangey yellow. The antenna has the scape extending as high as the median ocellus, broadened, with its anterior edge sharp; A1 about 1.5× longer than wide; and the flagellum weakly clavate with the basal funicular segments longer than wide, the middle segments quadrate, and the terminal segments transverse. The occipital foramen is well below the vertex. The wing membrane usually has a brown triangular macula extending posteriorly from the stigma. The gaster is just over twice as long as wide and slightly longer than the combined length of the head and mesosoma. The distribution of this species appears restricted to the far south of Chile, but it probably also occurs in nearby areas of Argentina.
