Key to species of Paraphilopterus Mey, 2004

(male of Paraphilopterus styloideus unknown)

1. Female Pseudostyli each with one pair of setae distally (see Mey 2004: fig. 33b). Vulval margin with two pairs of setae distally. PSMS reach to or beyond posterior margin of pteronotum. Pterothorax with 52 or more setae on the posterior margin. On Corcoracidae .............................................................. Paraphilopterus styloideus Mey, 2004

- Female pseudostyli each with two pairs of setae distally ( Figs 9–10 ). Vulval margin with more than two pairs of setae distally ( Figs 9–10 ). PSMS absent or, when present, do not reach posterior margin of pteronotum ( Figs 3–4 , 7–8 ). Pterothorax with less than 52 setae on the posterior margin ( Figs 3–4 , 7–8 ). On other families.......................................... 2

2. Pteronotal row of setae interrupted sublaterally ( Figs 3–4 ). Male dorsal anterior plate as in Fig. 11 or 12. PSMS present. On Ptilonorhynchidae ............................................................ Paraphilopterus knutieae n. sp.

- Pteronotal row of setae not interrupted sublaterally ( Figs 7–8 ). Male dorsal anterior plate as in Fig. 13 . PSMS generally absent. On Cnemophilidae ............................................................... Paraphilopterus meyi n. sp.

Figures

FIGURES 9 – 10. Female terminalia, dorsal and ventral views. 9, Paraphilopterus knutieae n. sp. ex Amblyornis macgregoriae nubicola; 9 a, dorsal lateral setae of tergite IX + X of P. knutieae ex Archboldia sanfordi (9 b). 10, P. meyi n. sp. Scale bars = 0. 5 mm. Notes: Subgenital plates are poorly sclerotized and delimited in both species, and included here only approximately. Arrows indicate shorter dorso-lateral seta on segments IX + X. The letters a, b, and c indicate the three setae on each pseudostylus.

FIGURES 1 – 4. Paraphilopterus knutieae n. sp. ex Amblyornis macgregoriae nubicola. 1, male head, dorsal and ventral views (pulvinus omitted for clarity); scale bar = 0. 1 mm. 2, male genitalia, dorsal view; scale bar = 0. 1 mm. 3, male thorax and abdomen, dorsal and ventral views (distal leg segments omitted); scale bar = 0. 5 mm. 4, female thorax and abdomen, dorsal and ventral views (distal leg segments omitted). Note: Arrow denotes gap in pteronotal row of setae. Abbreviations: ADS = anterior dorsal seta; AS 1 – 3 = anterior setae 1 – 3; AVS 1 – 3 = anterior ventral setae 1 – 3; DSMS = dorsal submarginal seta; MDS = mandibular seta; MTS 1 – 5: marginal temporal setae 1 – 5; OS = ocular seta; PAS = preantennal seta; PCS = preconal setae; POS = postocular seta; VSMS 1 – 2 = ventral submarginal setae 1 – 2. Dorsal sensilla not named, and variable between individuals.

Paraphilopterus meyi n. sp. ex Cnemophilus macgregorii macgregorii. 5, male head, dorsal and ventral views (pulvinus omitted for clarity); scale bar = 0. 1 mm. 6, male genitalia, dorsal view; scale bar = 0. 1 mm. 7, male thorax and abdomen, dorsal and ventral views (distal leg segments omitted); scale bar = 0. 5 mm. 8, female thorax and abdomen (distal leg segments omitted); scale bar = 0. 5 mm.

FIGURES 11 – 13. Male dorsal anterior plates and hyaline margins. 11, Paraphilopterus knutieae n. sp. ex Amblyornis macgregoriae nubicola. 12, P. knutieae n. sp. ex Archboldia sanfordi. 13, Paraphilopterus meyi n. sp. ex Cnemophilus macgregorii macgregorii. Scale bars = 0. 1 mm.
