Cleotychini gen. ind.

Figs 7B , 10

This undescribed genus is known from two species from Western Australia. It clearly differs from the two genera currently included in the tribe Cleotychini by possessing slender, elongate forelegs (protibiae and profemora foliaceous in Cleotyche and Femotyche gen. nov.).

The two species, both recorded only from photographs, differ in the width of the white band on the tegmina (rather narrow in sp. 1; wide in sp. 2) and by the white markings on sides and in midline of abdomen, extending further cephalad in sp. 2.
