Type materials. Australia: holotype (examined): ♂, Queensland: Mundubbera, 1.iii.1989, coll. D. Smith, ex Citrus ( ASCU); paratypes (examined): 3 ♀♀, same data as holotype

Distribution. Australia (Queensland).

Note. The anal tube appendages of Distantasca smithi are well developed and the long and narrow subgenital plates have macrosetae reaching the tip of the plate ( Figs 1–2 View FIGURES 1 – 6 ). The setae of group group D are divided into two bands one near the mid-length of the plate and one just before the apex and are elongate and hairlike setae ( Fig 1 View FIGURES 1 – 6 ). This is a diagnostic feature of Distantasca and consequently this species is transferred from Empoasca (Empoasca) into the genus Distantasca . The narrow, constricted stem of the connective is also characteristic of Distantasca although it is narrower in D. smithi than in other known members of the genus.
