Treatment

Nothocyphon amphora , n. sp.

( Figs. 83 View FIGURES 82 – 86 , 91 View FIGURE 91 )

Type material: 1 ♂ holotype: Pierces Ck Forest ACT 20 Jan.1989 I.McArthur IPS trap ( ANIC). Paratypes: 1♂: 38.39S 143.42E VIC Haines Junc. 525m 1.9km W. on Turtons Track 809 25.Jan.–8.Feb.1987 A.Newton & M.Thayer \ wet scler. forest FMHD #87-213 flight interc. (window) trap [body in poor shape]; 1♂: 38.43S 145.35E VIC Otway NP 390m Binn Rd 4.3 km N of Cape Horn 808 25.Jan.–8.Feb. 1987 A.Newton & M.Thayer \ wet scler. forest FMHD #87/210 flight interc. (window) trap [fore body missing] (all ANIC).

Habitus. BL 2.7−2.8mm, BL/BW ~1.7. Very similar to N. isolaeregis in all respects.

Male. Similar to N. isolaeregis , trigonium a little stouter. The parameres are longer than the parameroids and very slender. Their medial edge is nearly straight, smooth, the outer edge bears one to a few angular projections near the apex ( Fig. 83 View FIGURES 82 – 86 ).

Female. Unknown.

Notes. The holotype from near Canberra has a few teeth on the paramere, the specimens from the Otway ranges only one tooth ( Fig. 91 View FIGURE 91 ). The present gap in the range may be due to the scarcity of specimens. If correct, N. amphora probably coexists with N. alces n. sp.

Etymology. The name is a noun in apposition describing the shape of the penis.
