Loboscelidia maculata Kimsey

Loboscelidia maculata Kimsey 1988: 72. Holotype male; Australia: Queensland, 7 km sw Bellenden (ANIC).

Material studied.

Australia: Queensland: 7 km sw Bellenden (1 male, ANIC); Mossman Gorge (2 males, CNC); 3 specimens were seen including the holotype.

Diagnosis.

This is one of the five species with a medially flat medial vein as discussed under Loboscelidia defecta . Of these, only Loboscelidia defecta and Loboscelidia ora have been described from Australia. Loboscelidia maculata can be distinguished from Loboscelidia defecta by the lack of notauli (shared with Loboscelidia ora ), and the fore and hindtibial flanges twice as wide as the tubular part of the respective tibiae (narrower in Loboscelidia defecta and Loboscelidia ora ).
