Dinotoperla cherylae Theischinger & Mynott 2019, sp. nov.
No full textDinotoperla cherylae sp. nov. (Figs. 2–5, 8–10) A rather small Dinotoperla species, the male with a rather inconspicuous colour pattern on the head and thorax, and the terminalia similar to D. uniformis and D. evansi Kimmins, 1 951 but paraprocts slenderer and epiproct not bowed and with distinct gap between the apical and subapical tooth.

Billingham & G. Theischinger; all in Australian Museum; 2 larvae, Gloucester River at Gloucester Tops campground, 32.0582 o S / 151.6841 o E, 20-Nov-2012, J. Mynott & D. Black; in Australian National Insect Collection ANIC 0 8 0 0 1805 (JMH1462, GenBank: KY078101) and ANIC 0 8 0 0 1806 (JMH1658, GenBank: KY078116). Etymology. The specific epithet is the genitive of the Latinized name Cheryl, representing a dedication to Cheryl Tang who brought this species to the attention of the senior author. Description of the holotype. Measurements (mm). Body 5.0; forewing 7.2; antennae 7.0. Head. Dorsally and antennae largely greyish brown, otherwise yellowish grey. Thorax. Dorsally and laterally largely greyish brown, ventrally yellowish grey to greyish brown; pronotum anteriorly and medially, prescutum of meso- and metanotum and a thin mid-line of mesonotum dull to greyish yellow. Legs largely greyish yellow to pale yellowish brown, apical portion of femora, and basal portion of tibiae markedly darker, up to brownish black. Wings. Faintly suffused with pale greyish; squarish darker blotches around most cross-veins, particularly in apical half of forewing. Abdomen. Very pale greyish brown. Terminalia with central sclerite of tergite X short with tip rounded, sclerotized, not produced into a membranous cone; epiproct simple, rather straight, with distinct gap between the more acutely pointed larger apical and a shorter, less acutely pointed subapical tooth; paraprocts with base wide and lobe narrow, largely almost parallel sided; cerci 10–11 segmented, the basal segment almost twice as long as wide, the next two segments shorter than wide and the remaining segments slightly longer than wide to up to four times as long as wide. Variability. The paratype males closely agree with the holotype. Their forewings measure between 7.0 and 7.5 mm. Description of female. Head, thorax, wing and abdomen. Much as in male. Terminalia with subgenital plate (of immature specimens) evenly rounded; paraproct lobe narrowly trapezoidal with rounded tip; posterior margin of segment X widely and evenly rounded. Measurements (mm). Body 4.0–5.0; forewing 8.4–8.6. Larva. The larva is described in detail and keyed out in Mynott et al. (2017), only key characters are given as follows: From mainland eastern Australia; wingpads developed or developing; pronotum with hind corners not produced; meso- and metanotum without tubercles or mid-dorsal hump; dense and obvious fringe of setae not on all margins of pronotum; hind margin of tergite X with fringe of obvious long robust setae; tergite surfaces and/or hind margins with scattered or medially restricted long robust setae; dorsal colour light brown to pale; tergite X with pale patches near off-centre hind margin. Figs. 8–10 show larval details of a mature female larva from the type locality Affinities and diagnosis. Dinotoperla cherylae (Figs. 1–4), D. evansi Kimmins, 1951 (Fig. 5), known only from southeastern South Australia and D. uniformis (Fig. 6), ranging from southeastern Queensland across eastern New South Wales to Victoria, are the only three Dinotoperla species known that do not have the male central sclerite of tergite X produced into a membranous cone. The male of D. cherylae can be distinguished from both above similar congeners by the markedly slimmer lobe of the paraprocts and by the rather straight epiproct with distinct gap between the more acutely pointed larger apical and the shorter, less acutely pointed subapical tooth versus a strongly bowed epiproct with apical and subapical tooth very close to each other in both D. uniformis and D. evansi. Habitat and distribution. The available material of D. cherylae was collected from the bank of boulder dominated riffles in eastern New South Wales, where the species is now known between latitudes 30 o S and 35.6 o S. At the type locality D. cherylae was found to coexist with D. dolichoprocta Theischinger, 1982.Published as part of Theischinger, Gunther & Mynott, Julia H., 2019, A new species of Dinotoperla Tillyard, 1921 from the Shoalhaven Catchment, New South Wales, Australia (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae), pp. 423-427 in Zootaxa 4550 (3) on pages 424-427, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4550.3.9, http://zenodo.org/record/262555

Odontoperla Mynott, Suter & Theischinger, 2017, gen. nov.
No full textOdontoperla gen. nov. Type species: Dinotoperla schneiderae Theischinger, 1982. Mem. Qd. Mus. 20: 504. Generic description. Adult: Forewing with Rs simple and CuA forked; more than 1 distal crossvein in each space between R1 and CuA. Hindwing with MP and CuA fused for a part. Male tergite X with anterior and lateral sclerites and without posterior sclerite. Central sclerite of tergite X produced into a substantial membranous cone; epiproct with dorsal teeth and apical ventral spur; paraprocts with subapical thickening followed by a constriction. Diagnostic characters for the adult male are the dorsal dentition of the epiproct and the subapical thickening followed by a constriction of the paraprocts. Larva. Cerci longer than body with thin elongated segments. Paraprocts triangular with a rounded tip, length of paraproct is less than basal width. Robust body with sturdy legs. Frons covering the clypeus. Pronotum not extending past width of head. No femoral spur present. Distinguishing characters of larvae are the short triangular paraprocts; pronotum not extending laterally past eyes; unicolour appearance with dorsal surface covered by dark long robust setae tapering to a point. Remarks. This complex is distributed across a large area from north-eastern NSW to north Queensland. However, only two adult males were collected one from Bunya Mountains and one from Tully Gorge with both considered to be D. schneiderae. Genetic samples showed a high level of divergence between the specimens and geographic clades were identified. This species is considered a complex as larval morphology also showed no characters to distinguish between the clades. Additionally, based on the adult male morphology D. spinosa is also considered to belong to this genus. Specimens are deposited in ANIC Etymology. From the Greek odonto meaning teeth referring to the dentitions on the epiproct of the adult male.Published as part of Mynott, Julia H, Suter, Phillip J & Theischinger, Gunther, 2017, Revision of the genus Dinotoperla Tillyard, 1921 (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae) using morphological characters and molecular data: Establishes two new genera, three new species and updates the larval taxonomy, pp. 1-76 in Zootaxa 4224 (1) on page 52, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.25900

Holotype male, Australia, Victoria, Glenelg River at Sanford-Bahgallah Road, -37.61922, 141.42864, (EPA Victoria Site Code: JKN), 15 October 2013, EPA Victoria; Specimen accession number: JMH1829 (LTU); KX687986 (GenBank); K.462971 (AM). Male (Holotype), juvenile. Head. Grey with ill-defined irregular yellow patches along eye margin; antennae greyish. Thorax. Largely dark brownish grey. Pronotum wider than long. Legs greyish yellow; in all legs the distal third to half of femur and basal fifth to sixth of tibiae and second tarsal segment somewhat darker than remainder; claws black; basal tarsal segment of hindleg as long as apical segment. Both wings basically hyaline, slightly suffused with greyish yellow, forewing extensively and irregularly mottled/clouded with yellowish grey. Abdomen. Largely greyish yellow, on each side with narrow greyish brown dorsal line close and parallel to imaginary mid-dorsal line and wider greyish brown lateral stripe. Genitalia (Figs. 1, 2). Lateral sclerites of tergite X angled, the apices widely separated; posterior sclerite short and tapered, projecting posterodorsally from a rather deep base; epiproct in lateral view slightly arched dorsally, subtriangular in dorsal view, end-hook narrow, lateral teeth alternating in size from large subapical to large basal; paraprocts thin, slightly arched dorsally, inner margin with small subtriangular ventral lobe at about mid-length, apex narrowed to thin hook curving ventrolaterally. Dimensions. Body length 6.5 mm, forewing 7.5 mm. Female. Unknown. Larvae (Paratypes): 3 specimens: Victoria, Heywood, Fitzroy River, 29 December 2012, Z. Billingham; Accession numbers: JMH1311 (LTU), KX687989 (GenBank), K.462972 (AM); JMH1312 (LTU), KX687988 (GenBank), K.462973 (AM); JMH1313 (LTU), KX687987 (GenBank), K.462974 (AM). (Non-paratypes): 8 specimens: same data. Head. Pale brown with darker pigment on occiput; dark lateral stripe from scape to posterior head margin (Fig. 5). Antenna without long fine setae (Fig. 4). Thorax. Pronotum longer than wide; pronotum pale with darker medial and lateral stripes; pleural area with dark patches (Fig. 3). Meso- and metanota with straight hind margin; all nota with on surfaces and margins. Legs: long and thin; femora and tibiae with short fine setae on all surfaces, tibiae with fringe of long fine setae on outer margin, femora with some scattered long fine setae on outer margin. Femora with dorsolateral dark longitudinal stripe, a broad dark transverse band distally. Tibiae with proximal, narrow dark band; inner margin of tibiae with long robust setae; hind tarsi with segment three greater than half as long as segment one. Abdomen. Narrow, dorsal light stripe on abdominal segment one through nine, darker laterally (Fig. 3 & 4). All terga (surfaces and hind margins) with short fine setae; tergite X longer than wide, apex rounded. Cerci without long fine setae. Dimensions. Body length 8.5 mm – 9.0 mm (n=11). Etymology. This new species is dedicated to our colleague Edward Tsyrlin who recognised the distinctive larval morphology. Remarks. A combination of widely angled lateral sclerites and short upright posterior sclerite of tergite X, an epiproct with a narrow end-hook, and paraprocts with a simple, narrow, laterally pointing end-hook and a small, triangular ventral lobe (Figs 1, 2) distinguishes the male of Leptoperla tsyrlini sp. n. from all other Leptoperla species. Leptoperla tsyrlini sp. n. is most similar to L. neboissi McLellan, 1971, a species with more rounded lateral sclerites of tergite X and distinctly less hooked paraprocts with a much larger ventral lobe (Fig. 6). Tsyrlin (2001), in comparison to other Leptoperla larvae, indicates that the new species has a relatively long pronotum, a longer tarsomere one of the hind tarsus, and a complete absence of a fringe of setae on the pronotal edges. The new species appears endemic to the Glenelg and Fitzroy Rivers of southwestern Victoria.Published as part of Mynott, Julia H. & Theischinger, Gunther, 2016, A New Species Of Leptoperla Newman, 1839 (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae), pp. 60-63 in Illiesia 12 (11) on pages 61-63, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.475281
