Xiphoidellus dumosus Weirauch and Schuh, 2011: 490 View in CoL (new species).

DISCUSSION: We have examined specimens of Xiphoidellus dumosus from a collecting event not included in the original description ( Weirauch and Schuh, 2011 ). The range of this species, taken on a known host plant, is extended approximately 500 km further east to near Cape Arid National Park, close to the easternmost record of X. furvus Weirauch and Schuh, 2011 . The majority of X. dumosus specimens, or 94% were taken on myrtaceous host plants in the tribe Leptospermeae ; this host-plant specialization was not highlighted in the original description of Xiphoidellus due to the greater diversity of plant-family utilization of congeners. The new specimen and locality information are: AUSTRALIA: Western Australia: 7.5 km E of Balladonia Road on Fisheries Road, 33.74644 ° S 123.1687 ° E, 120 m, 25 Nov 1999, R.T. Schuh , G. Cassis, and R. Silveira, ex Taxandria parviceps (Schauer) J.R. Wheeler and N.G. Marchant (as Agonis ) ( Myrtaceae : Leptospermeae ), det. PERTH staff PERTH 05095301, 33 (00390834– 00390836), 4♀ (00390830–00390833), 2 nymphs (00390828, 00390829) (AM).
