Sejanus fasciatus Carvalho and Gross View in CoL

Sejanus fasciatus Carvalho and Gross, 1982: 34 View in CoL , figs. 56–58, 114 (n. sp., descr., disc., DV, MG).

DISCUSSION: This species does not belong in Leucophoropterini based on the following characters: the endosoma is not C-, J-, or Sshaped ( Carvalho and Gross, 1982: fig. 56), but tubular and twisted like many Hallodapini ; antennal segments 2, 3, and 4 are more slender and narrow than antennal segment 1, whereas in Leucophoropterini they are equal to or of greater diameter than antennal segment 1; and the contrasting white of the basal half of the cuneus extends past the fracture and on to the corium, which is present only in Blesingia promeceops and Ausejanus ansevata , both of which have other characters that clearly place them in Leucophoropterini .

DISTRIBUTION: South Australia, Northern Territory, and Western Australia.
