Brephilydia jejuna ( Pascoe, 1864) View in CoL

( Figs. 5 View Figure 5 E–I, 14E View Figure 14 , 15H View Figure 15 , 16D View Figure 16 )

Mallodon jejunum Pascoe, 1864: 243 View in CoL . TL: Richmond River (New South Wales). Lectotype in BNHM (designated here).

Macrotoma papyria Pascoe, 1864: 244 View in CoL . TL: South(?) Australia. Holotype in BNHM (examined). Synonymised by Lameere, 1903a.

Diagnosis. This species is highly variable but can be separated from B. fearni by having obtuse angled frontoclypeal suture ( Fig. 5E View Figure 5 ), the mandibular surface with relatively long and dense hairs and relatively shorter elytra (about 4 times pronotum length in male, about 5 times length of pronotum in female). It is widely distributed in New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland.

Types. Pascoe (1864) had several specimens when describing Mallodon jejunum Pascoe , but only single specimen remains in the BNHM. Herein we designate this male specimen as the lectotype, with the following original labels “ Richmond R. | Pascoe Coll . 93-60. | Mallodon jejunum Pasc. , Type ”.

Macrotoma papyria Pascoe , holotype female deposited in BNHM, with the following original labels “ Macrotoma papyria Pasc. | Australia | Pascoe Coll. 93-60”.

Remarks. There are two distinctive morphological male forms in this species ( Figs. 5F, 5G View Figure 5 ); one of them appearing to be a stronger masculine form ( Fig. 5F View Figure 5 ) with the pronotum surface bearing sexually dimorphic punctures, the lateral margin of pronotum bearing very small teeth, the antenna short and only extending to the middle of elytra but the antennal scape shorter and thicker. Both types of males have been collected in the same area, and even reared from the same log (personal observation, R. de Keyzer). We have found no significant differences in mitochondrial genome sequences and have kept them under the same species.
