Eoscarterella media Evans, 1956

( Figs 10–12 )

Eoscarterella media Evans, 1956: 20, fig. 18C; Evans 1961: 19.

Prosbolopsites tillyardi Bekker-Migdisova, 1960: 90 (synonymy by Evans 1961).

Material. Holotype right tegmen UQG C1110/1111+, Mount Crosby Locality A. Two additional tegmina, Mount Crosby Locality A: QM F58593 + (listed by Evans (1961) as UQE S8/8A), F58596 + (listed by Evans (1961) as UQE S13/13A and identified as Eoscartoides bryani ).

Description. Length 10.3 mm, width 4.5–4.7 mm (holotype 4.7), length/width 2.2-2.3; R without costal veinlets; RA without or with 1 oblique costal veinlet; no colour pattern detected (the darkened costal margin in Fig. 12 is a lighting effect of the merged photographs).

Notes. The crossvein between RA2 and RP could not be detected in the holotype or QM F58593 , neither of which are all that clearly preserved, especially in this area of the tegmen. It is, however, present in QM F58596 which although more fragmentary is much better preserved.
