The tasmanicus View in CoL group

This group now includes two parapatric eastern species. Males have a large triangular fan with lobate flaps, each flap bearing a large black spot. M. australis resembles M. tasmanicus but has been removed from this group as the recent DNA study by Girard et al. (2021) suggests that M. australis has more affinity to the southwestern clade (clade 41 in figure 1).
