Scytocera Redtenbacher, 1891

Scytocera prasinus Karny 1921 was described from the Endeavour River, Queensland, Australia in Dicranocercus Redtenbacher 1891, the type species of which is D. niger Redtenbacher 1891 by original monotypy. D. prasinus is misplaced in Scytocera which includes very dissimilar species, none of which occur in or near Australia. There is no described genus which could accommodate D. prasinus and I propose Goodangarkia Rentz gen. nov., derived from an aboriginal word for Cape York, feminine gender. The type species is here designated as Dicranocercus prasinus Redtenbacher 1891 . This genus comprises two known species, both from the northern portion of the Cape York Peninsula, Queensland and adjacent islands. Both are richly green with highly distinctive markings. S. prasinus is fully winged with the tegmina and wings slightly surpassing the apex of the abdomen. The second species is brachypterous, with the male tegmina only slightly longer than the length of the pronotum. This species will be described at a later date. Male and female genitalia and titillators are species distinctive. The ovipositor is sickle-shaped and shorter than the length of the hind femur but longer than the length of the pronotum.
