Eucalyptophylus , new genus

TYPE SPECIES: Eucalyptophylus macrocarpae , new species.

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by angulate head and large eyes of both sexes and endosoma of male formed of two distinct straps with sclerotized apical plate of ventral strap subtended by obvious, weakly sclerotized subapical region. Dorsum of one species with bold contrasting markings of dark mahogany and pale gray and predominately uniformly pale gray coloration with dusky orange to brown markings of other included species combined with unique head and endosmal structure is currently unknown in other exaeretine phylines.

DESCRIPTION: MALE: Macropterous, total length 2.87–3.50, pronotum width 0.82–0.99. COLORATION (pl. 1): Either practically uniform pale yellow to yellow gray, including all appendages, slightly darker on head, calli, mesoscutum, and apex of endocorium—or dark mahogany with pale gray on posterior lobe of pronotum, clavus, corium proximal of distal angle of clavus, proximal one half of cuneus, and appendages except femora; tibiae without dark spots at spine bases. SURFACE AND VESTI-

TURE: Dorsum weakly rugulose, matte to weakly shining; dorsal vestiture with extensive silvery shining, somewhat sericeous setae and brown sericeous setae or black simple setae over dark colored areas of hemelytron; tibial spines pale.

STRUCTURE: Head: Moderately broad, sometimes transverse and separated from, or closely conforming to, anterior margin of pronotum; eyes large, sometimes reaching to buccula in lateral view. Antenna: Segment 2 either thick with length longer than width of pronotum or narrow and length approximately equal to width of pronotum. Labium: Reaching from base of mesocoxa to apex of metacoxa. Thorax: Pronotum: Either subconical or subquadrate, lateral margins nearly straight, calli weakly demarcated, posterior lobe nearly flat, posterior margin straight to weakly excavated; mesoscutum broadly exposed; metathoracic spiracle and scent-gland system typically phyline (figs. 2D, 3D). Pretarsus: Claw small, delicate, gently curved; parempodia straight, setiform; pulvilli present or absent (figs. 2E, 3E). Hemelytron: Costal margin straight, sometimes elongate. GENITALIA (figs. 2F, 3F, pls. 6A–H, 7A–J): Pygophore: Large, broadly conical or cylindrical; ventral posterior region and dorsoanteriad of paramere insertions without tubercles or discrete patches of bristles. Endosoma: Formed by two distinct straps, either C-shaped, sturdy, and apically blunt or sigmoid, narrow and apically pointed; ventral strap with obvious, weakly sclerotized subapical region subtending a sclerotized apical plate of variable size. Secondary gonopore: Subapical with variable size and definition. Phallotheca: Variable. Parameres: Left paramere: Typical phyline shape; posterior region between posterior and anterior processes not produced; length of anterior process subequal to, or about one-half length of, posterior process. Right paramere: Variable.

FEMALE (pl. 1): Coloration and structure similar to male; total length 2.92–3.29, pronotum width 0.76–1.01. Costal margin slightly more convex than in male; antennal segment 2 more slen- der and tapering proximally. GENITALIA (pls. 6I, J, 7K–M): Posterior margin of sternite 7: Medially either concave or with posteriorly directed projection. Vestibular sclerites: Small, not projecting beyond anterior edge of dorsal labiate plate. First gonapophyses: Small, basal, quadrate blocks. Ventral labiate plate: Platelike, medial, anteroventral extension variable, covering anterior surface of basal structures. Dorsal labiate plate: Small, variable longitudinally. Sclerotized rings: Medium sized, widely separated, subquadrate, thin walled, medial angle curved. Posteromedial region: Surface without apparent microstructure, sometimes with concentric ribbing. Anterolateral region: Variably projecting anteriad of sclerotized rings. Posterior wall: Variable. Without anteriorly projecting structure. Interramal sclerites: Wellsclerotized, lateral sclerites wedge shaped, medial sclerite obscure.

ETYMOLOGY: Named for the occurrence of known species on the genus Eucalyptus , in combination with the generic name Phylus ; masculine.

DISCUSSION: The two species included in Eucalyptophylus are divergent in coloration, shape, antennal length, and details of the endo-

soma. We consider them congeneric based on the overall form of the endosoma. The ventral and dorsal endosomal straps in each species are separated by obvious membranes along their length and the aperture of the secondary gonopore opens caudally adjacent to a discrete apical sclerite of the ventral strap. The dorsal surface of both species is densely covered with wooly trichomes (figs. 2C, 3C).

Currently Eucalyptophylus spp. were taken only on Eucalyptus (Eucalypteae) (see tables 2, 3). For both species of Eucalyptophylus , three out of four of their known host plants and all but one of 12 of their collecting events occur in the southwestern phytogeographic subregion of Western Australia. Eucalyptophylus polyphagus is also found in the eastern desert phytogeographic subregion of South Australia on the widely distributed Eucalyptus camaldulensis , currently making this plant-bug species the only member of the genus with a distribution east and west of the Nullarbor Plain(see table 4).
