Pollanisus marriotti

Published data ( Kallies & Mollet 2011).

Material examined ( Table 3). Paratypes: 1 ♁ (712) ( Fig. 43 ), 1 ♁ (709) ( Fig. 48 ), Victoria. Gembrook, E of Melbourne, Gilwell Park , lux, 37°26′S, 145°39′E, 3.II.2008, A. Kallies & P. Marriotti leg. ( BMC) ; 2 ♁, same data but 27.I.2009, A. Kallies, S. & B. Mollet leg. ( BMC) ; 1 ♁, same data but 8.II.2009, A. Kallies, S. & B. Mollet leg. ( BMC) .

Discussion and differential diagnosis. The head ratio data of P. marriotti are close to those of P. angustifrons , whereas the latter has longer antennal pectinations, narrower wings and is localized in Northern Queensland.

Phenology and bionomics. This species was mainly collected at night ( Kallies & Mollet 2011). The larval host-plant is unknown.
