Key to the species of Tasmantrix Gibbs View in CoL , gen. nov.
Wing maculation alone ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ) cannot satisfactorily distinguish between all species of Tasmantrix , hence a combination of forewing patterns, antennal morphology and male genitalic characters are used here.
1. Forewing with a white transverse fascia at mid-length continuous from costa to termen (the ‘ calliplaca - type’ macu- lation) ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 A) ............................................................................................................................................................ 3
- Forewing with white fascia at mid-length but not forming a continuous costa to termen band ................................. 2
2. Forewing transverse fascia at mid-length represented by two independent white fasciae, one on costa, one on termen ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 F); male segment 9 sclerite a complete ring ......................................................... tasmaniensis Gibbs View in CoL , sp. nov.
- Forewing with an elongate ‘J’-shaped fascia extending from base to termen at mid-length ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C); male sclerite 9 incomplete dorsally .................................................................................................................. lunaris Gibbs View in CoL , sp. nov.
3. Male valvae forked with upper and lower arms .......................................................................................................... 4
- Male valvae simple ....................................................................................................................................................... 5
4. Male valvae fused together in ventral mid-line, forming a rigid semicircular clasper; lower valve fork apex bearing 6-8 specialised setae with recurved tips; a small lunular S8 remnant present ......... calliplaca (Meyrick) , comb. nov.
- Male upper and lower valve arms separated by wide semicircular emargination; both arms bearing a dense array of specialised recurved setae with brush tips; lacking S8 remnant .................................................. thula View in CoL Gibbs, sp. nov.
5. Male tergum 10 divided into two lobes..................................................................................... fragilis Gibbs View in CoL , sp. nov.
- Male tergum 10 simple, hood-like ............................................................................................................................... 6
6. Male valvae simple, bearing a dense area of long curved setae (‘retro-setae’) with brush borders on their inner sur- face ......................................................................................................................................... phalaros Gibbs View in CoL , sp. nov.
- Male valvae with broad club-like apices, bearing a dense area of coarse ‘retro-setae’ on inner surface ....................... ............................................................................................................................................. nigrocornis View in CoL Gibbs, sp. nov.
