Teddus katrinae , new species

Figure 18C , 19 , map 6, plates 5, 32, table 1

DIAGNOSIS: Distinguished from other Australian phylines by the presence of black and white scalelike setae on the dorsum augmenting the striking black and white markings on the hemelytron. The genitalic structure of both sexes as in other Leptidolon group genera, but habitus similar to some Leucophoropterini .

DESCRIPTION: MALE (figs. 18C, 19, pls. 5, 32A–J): As in generic description. Mean total length 2.87, mean pronotum width 0.97.

FEMALE (pls. 5, 32K–N): As in generic description. Coloration as in male; differing from male as in generic description; mean total length 2.91, mean pronotum width 1.03.

ETYMOLOGY: Named in honor of Katrina L. Menard, who first recognized the correct tribal placement of this taxon and who shared information that influenced the formulation of our discussions.

HOSTS: Recorded from a broad range of hosts, most represented by only a few specimens of T. katrinae (see Specimens Examined and table 3), as well as 79 specimens with no recorded host. Only two specimens (from South and Western Australia) were collected on myrtaceous plants. Significant numbers of specimens are documented from the following unrelated plant species: Grevillea nematophylla ( Proteaceae : 46 specimens /1 collect- ing event) and Dodonea viscosa ( Sapindaceae : 13 specimens /1 collecting event). Also 13 specimens were taken on two genera of Fabaceae (6 spp. of Acacia and 1 sp. of Senna ).

DISTRIBUTION (map 6, table 4): Currently known from 50 localities (54 collecting events) representing every Australian state except Tasmania. Inhabiting the southwestern, southwest interzone, Pilbara , western desert, central desert, eastern desert, and Adelaide terrestrial phytogeographical subregions of Ebach et al. (2015).

DISCUSSION: This new species is distributed across the arid regions of mainland Australia, a

relatively rare distribution pattern for phyline Miridae that also occur in the southwestern subregion (table 4). Examination of eight males from NSW, NT, QLD, SA, and WA confirmed that all features of the endosoma are identical across the range of the distribution.
