Leaus species
( Figs 23 View FIGURES 20 – 23 , 26 View FIGURES 24 – 26 , 32 View FIGURES 27 – 32 )
A specimen of a species which appears to be identical to L. elusus except for distinctly denticulate lateral pronotal carinae bears the label: ‘Qld: 27.293o Sx 152.745o E 0.5 km W Mt Tenison Woods, N side. RF. 615m. Malaise.
19160 30 Oct—06 Nov 2009. G. Monteith & F. Turco’ COL 1085 (ANIC). It is in alcohol for DNA sequencing and therefore not suitable as a holotype. It is unquestionably a different species from L. elusus not only because of its different pronotal sides but also because the collection locality is in lowland rainforest while that of the latter is in highland sclerophyll forest. Since it is a female the opportunity was taken to examine the ovipositor and vaginal sclerite. The ovipositor is without gonostyli ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 24 – 26 ) as in L. monteithi .
