This specimen indeed belongs to the tribe Eurymelini, identified as a member of the genus  Platyeurymela Evans, 1933or  Pauroeurymela Evans, 1933by M.J. Fletcher (pers. com., Apr. 2016) based on the examination of photographs of the specimen in NHMW.    Diagnosis The species can be recognized by the following combination of characters: (1) hind wings without orange marking ( Figs 29E, 31E) (2) pro- and mesofemora and -tibiae largely dark brown ( Figs 29A–D, 31A–D) (3) anal tube of male spatulate, constricted at half length ( Fig. 30B) (4) centroventral part of gonostyli with strong elongate process tapering distally and with 4–5 apical teeth ( Fig. 30A, C) (5) laterodorsal part of gonostyli with strong furcate process, elongate process strongly curved posterolaterally ( Fig. 30A, C–D) (6) rather small size: 7–8 mm Females of  O. mauraare nearly impossible to separate from females of the sympatric  O. piceaand should be identified only if collected together with males.    Etymology The species epithet maurus(adjective, Latin) means ʻMoorʼ, the inhabitants of North Africa, and by extension, ʻdark skinnedʼ. It refers to the dark colour of the species.    Material examined    Lectotype(  here designated)  AUSTRALIA• ♂; “Australia”, “63 47”, “BMNH(E) # 668802”; here designatedto provide a reference standard for the species; BMNH ( Fig. 27).    Paralectotype  AUSTRALIA• ♀; “63 47”, “BMNH(E) # 668803”; BMNH( Fig. 28).  Note  The lectotypeand paralectotypeare placed together in the Banks collection under two labels: “  Cicada maura, Fab.

LT: ♂ (n = 3): 7.2 mm(6.9–7.5); BV/LV = 3.6; BF/LF = 1.82; LP+ LM/BT = 0.62; Ltg/BTg = 2.4; LW/BW = 1.97.  Male HEAD ( Figs 27A–D, 29A–D). Vertex slightly concave, with anterior and posterior margins parallel, curved; medium to dark brown with sides slightly darker. Frons uniformly coloured, medium to dark brown. Clypeus elongate, entirely brown. Genae brown to black with yellowish markings along anterior margin. Labium brown to black, reaching metacoxae. Antennae black-brown; scape short, ring-shaped; pedicel subcylindrical, slightly narrowing towards apex. THORAX ( Figs 27A–D, 29A–D). Pronotum uniformly brown, sometimes variegated with yellowish; slightly wrinkled; 2 small impressed points on disc slightly marked; sometimes very obsolete median carina. Lateral fields of prothorax coloured as pronotum. Mesonotum medium to dark brown, somewhat darker than pronotum, sometimes variegated with yellowish; yellowish minute spot at apex of scutellum; median and peridiscal carinae weakly marked; median carina stopping before scutellum; slight impression before scutellum. Red ventrally. Tegulae medium to dark brown. TEGMINA ( Figs 27A, C, 29A, C). Medium to dark brown; often pale yellowish marking on vein A1 at midlength of clavus; marked with dark brown or black along costal margin, more broadly so on posterior half, and along posterior margin. Often darker, median, irregular marking at apical ¾; triangular white marking on costal margin on nodal line, sometimes reduced; sometimes, a number of minute white spots at apicosutural angle. Costal and sutural margins subparallel; costal margin nearly straight; apical margin obliquely rounded. POSTERIOR WINGS ( Fig. 29E). Brown, paler on anal area and progressively darker on apical half; small, subtriangular white marking at apicocostal angle, extending on 2–4 cells. Margin of anal area slightly sinuate; sutural margin with 1 slight cleft, cubital one nearly not marked. LEGS ( Figs 27A–D, 29A–D). Pro- and mesocoxae black-brown.
