WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 1 decade ago

Abstract: Temognatha (Temognatha) aquilonia sp. nov., from north-east Queensland, is described and figured. It is placed with T. gigas (Carter, 1916) and T. parvicollis (Saunders, 1869) (including the subspecies T. parvicollis andromeda (Peterson, 1988) stat. nov.), in the T. parvicollis species-group. These species are diagnosed and keyed and the coloration of T. gigas is redescribed, based on live and freshly dead material. Lectotypes are designated for Stigmodera parvicollis Saunders, Stigmodera picea Kerremans, 1890, Stigmodera andromeda Peterson / Stigmodera princeps Blackburn, 1891. The zoogeographic significance of T. aquilonia is discussed.
