Austrotinodes glaya sp. nov.

Figs 19–21 View FIGURES 16–24

Diagnosis. Austrotinodes glaya can be distinguished from the closest group member A. yalga in possessing paired inferior appendages with length greater than width.

Description. Head, body and wings pale (recently emerged?); wings similar to A. yalga ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 8–15 ). Forewing length about 3 times width: male 4.8 mm. Forewing fork 2 long, with footstalk, footstalk about twice the length of cross-vein r-m, length fork about same length as fork 3; fork 3 long, length fork about 3 times length footstalk, footstalk length about 1.8 times length cross-vein m. Hindwing length about 3 times width; fork 2 footstalk short, length about same length as cross-vein r-m, fork about same length as fork 3.

Male. Tergum X membranous with a small mesal process ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 16–24 ). Superior appendages in lateral view, broad, tapered gradually in apical half, with short ventro-mesal process with group of five long spines ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 16–24 ); in dorsal view, short, robust, length about 2 times width, with small subapico mesal process, extensive membranous area mesal to superior appendages (Fig. 74). Phallus generally tube-like, with dorsal process ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 16–24 ); with a dark, robust bifid process (phallic guide) arising from near the base of the inferior appendages. Inferior appendages in ventral view, small, paired processes, length greater than width, bases widely separated ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 16–24 ); in lateral view, length about same as width, very broad and rounded laterally near the middle, narrowed subapically ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 16–24 ).

Female. Unknown.

Holotype male (specimen CT-524 figured): New South Wales, Jervis Bay (about 35°04'S, 150°40'E), 3 May 1980, G. Theischinger ( NMV, T- 20363). GoogleMaps
