Hyperlasion aliens Mohrig, 2004 [Mohrig (2004): 159–160, fig. 27 a–f].

Literature: Menzel & Smith (2009): 38–40, figs 39–41.

Material studied. TASMANIA: 1 male, 31.viii.1988, Australia, Tasmania, Devonport, 103594, pot plant, indoors, leg. L. Hill ( TAIC) .

Diagnostic remarks. This species is characterized by the small size, 2 subapical pairs of spines on the gonostylus, one-segmented palps (without an apical pit of sensillae), very short, pin-shaped tibial spurs, and wing with both a reduced anal field and CuA stem.

Body length: 1 mm.

Economic importance. Not known to be a pest, so it is unlikely to be of economic importance.

Distribution. Papua New Guinea; Seychelles; Australia (Tasmania): new record. [Note: it is uncertain if this species is established in Tasmania as there is just one record].
