Parvodeceptor infrequens sp. n. (Figs 1 A���E, dimensions in Table 1) Type material. Holotype, female, North Queensland, Malanda Falls, 750m above sea level, 9 Dec 1989, Monteith, Thompson and Janetski, pyrethrum knockdown logs and trees, HILL 00043, whole in ethanol vial except right elytron on slide, T 228947 in QM. Description. Female generally brown without distinctive markings, elytral veins darker than cells, eyes redblack in ethanol. Frons with pair of inconspicuous protuberances near anterior margin, visible in anterodorsal view (Figs 1 A���B). Male unknown. Notes. It is unfortunate to have to describe this species from a single female and not provide a stronger specific diagnosis but it is the sole representative of the genus seen by the author in 35 years of study. Etymology. The Latin adjective infrequens alludes to the rarity of this species., Published as part of Hill, Lionel, 2015, Three new genera of Schizopteridae from Australia with description of six new species (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Schizopteridae), pp. 73-96 in Zootaxa 3990 (1) on page 78, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3990.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/289123

Notes. The male genitalia of Dextritubus superficially resemble Semangananus ��tys, 1974 and Vilhenannus Wygodzinsky 1950 in that an accessory intromittent organ projects anteriorly on the right side and the right paramere is very long. Dextritubus has no metasternal process unlike the conspicuous forked process of Vilhenannus Wygodzinky, 1950. ��tys (1974) compared Semangananus with Dundonannus on several somatic characters (particularly venation and right digital process of T 8 bearing a spiracle) but noted that the male accessory organ is fully sclerotized in the former but mostly membranous in the latter. The posterior marginal concavity of female S 7 in Dextritubus is reminiscent of cryptocephaline beetles and perhaps aids oviposition. Type species. Dextritubus cucullatus sp. n. by present designation. Distribution. Middle-east and south-east Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory. Habitats. Collected by Berlese funnel litter extractions and flight intercept traps in open forest. Rare in 1300 samples of Schizopteridae collected by QM and ANIC, mostly from moist forest habitats of eastern Australia. Etymology. From the Latin adjective dexter (right) and noun tubus (tube) alluding to the tubular accessory genitalia on the right side of the male.

Fore wings: Macropterous male fore wings (Fig. 12 A) lie flat, overlapping, veins with setae twice as long as vein width and spaced one setal-length apart (more closely on marginal vein); anterior and claval furrows present; veins weakly raised, one conspicuously carinate vein extending along longitudinal axis of wing becoming less carinate distally; cells with fine polygonal mosaic defined by densely-spaced double rows of microgranules, interior areas of polygons sparsely filled with microgranules on distal membrane but densely and uniformly filled with microgranules on proximal half of wing; costal margins explanate and abruptly deflexed (not reflexed) to form broad, flat, steeply inclined to near vertical epipleura, twice as wide as dorsal view of explanate costal margin, as wide as hind tibial diameter, tapering to S 6; hindwing trilobite and full-length. Submacropterous male and female fore wing similar to macropter but weakly convex, apical venation condensed, distal membrane absent, weakly overlapping distally, carinate longitudinal vein remaining carinate to apex of wing (Fig. 13 E), anterior and claval furrows present, margin between most posterior vein and the wing margin opposite trapezoidal cell as narrow as 2���3 vein-widths (Figs 13 A, E), hindwings absent. Legs. Male tarsal formula 3,3, 3, female 2,2,3; tarsi slender except male fore and mid tarsi weakly swollen and with pseudotetramerous appearance created by an apodeme that appears to subdivide second tarsomere; claws of male fore and mid legs with 4���5 long, slender, ventral teeth (Fig. 12 D); arolial sacs present but presence of parempodia uncertain; hind tarsi with straight parempodia as long as slender claw lacking teeth; all claws expanded basally (Fig. 12 D); femora ventrally with several oblique long setae, no erect macrosetae; tibiae without conspicuous macroseta except a few distally on hind tibae; hind tibiae with three erect, fine, ventral setae, four tibial diameters in length and located between mid and three-quarter length from base of tibiae; ratio length hind tarsus/hind tibia 0.4. Abdomen: Macropterous male, T 1- 4 not sclerotized,T 5���7 more or less large, rectangular and lightly sclerotized, T 8 with slender curved process projecting laterally and complementing opposing weakly hooked hyaline process arising from genital capsule or anophore (Figs 11 A, 11 C); S 3 gently contoured to hind coxae, S 4 symmetrical, S 5 widened and modified on right side into an oblique, semicylindrical concavity (Fig. 11 B); S 6 modified on right side into broad rectangular process closely associated with cavity of S 5 to enclose a tubular space; S 7 asymmetrical, posterior margin convex, right side projecting as a blunt cone (Fig. 11 A); spiracles on S 6, S 7 and left side (at least) T 8. Genitalia: Male: T 8 with slender curved process projecting laterally and complementing opposing weakly hooked broad hyaline process arising from either genital capsule or anophore, no spiracle detected on T 8 process; two lamellate hyaline projections on right side (including the one opposing T 8 right process) perhaps of anophoric origin or arising from rim of genital capsule; right paramere very long, slender, strongly curved, weakly tapering with small subbasal protuberance; left paramere very short and irregular (Fig. 11 D); vesica inflated into membranous mass bearing 10 or so sclerotized spines (Fig. 11 C). Notes: The carinate vein running longitudinally for half (macropters) or all (elytrous morphs) of the length of the fore wing is a conspicuous character of Carinatala. Pinochius Carayon 1949 has a conspicuous raised vein but it runs more obliquely and has three anterior veins emanating in parallel from it (Carayon, 1949; R��dei, 2008). Dentate claws on the male fore- and midlegs have not previously been documented in the family. In reviewing the legs of Schizopteridae, Emsley (1969, p 19) wrote ���The shape of the claws varies generically from strongly curved to almost straight and they may bear basal processes���. The broad epipleura are merely deflexed to near vertical rather than strongly reflexed. In submacropters, the margin between most posterior vein and fore wing margin is much narrower than in the elytrous Dextritubus. The male genitalia of Carinatala superficially resemble Dundonannus Wygodzinsky, 1950 in the presence of a very long right paramere and an inflatable, membranous intromittent organ projecting on the right side posterior to a semicyclindrical cavity derived from elaboration of the lateral margins of two preceding sterna. No spinous vesica could be observed in Carinatala although a tubular proximal portion was evident (Fig. 11 C). Etymology: The generic name is composed of the Latin adjective carinatus, - a, - um (provided with carina) and the feminine Latin noun ala (wing), alluding to the conspicuous carinate vein of the fore wings. Gender feminine. Type species. Carinatala septentrionalis sp. n., by present designation. Distribution. There are perhaps three species in this genus distributed in south-east Queensland (C. septentrionalis), northern New South Wales (undescribed) and southern New South Wales (C. meridiana). A macropterous male of the first species and a submacropterous male of the last one have been seen. The genus is known from between 80 and 600 m above sea level and the habitat appears to be moist forest litter., Published as part of Hill, Lionel, 2015, Three new genera of Schizopteridae from Australia with description of six new species (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Schizopteridae), pp. 73-96 in Zootaxa 3990 (1) on pages 89-90, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3990.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/289123, {"references":["Carayon, J.

Parvodeceptor gen. n. (Fig. 1, dimensions in Table 1) Material. The holotype female of Parvodeceptor infrequens sp. n. Diagnosis. General appearance resembling Hypselosomatine in that the female is elytrous with large eyes. However there is no sclerotized ovipositor, the labium is 3 -segmented, A 3 is 140 % as long as A 4 and the frons is more protuberant. Dorsum weakly convex. Setae generally fine and recumbent including on elytra. Description. Head deflexed but frons weakly protuberant, height twice length in lateral view, not narrow in anterior view, without prominent setae except on anteclypeus; anteclypeus, bucculae, maxillary and mandibular plates glabrous; eyes large, overlapping pronotal collar laterally, half as high as head, height equal to length in lateral view, facets small; ocelli present, faint, located about 3 facet-diameters from eye margin, less than one eye facet in diameter; vertex without macrosetae including no pair of ocular macrosetae overhanging eyes; vertex abruptly deflexed into inserted postocular part (Fig. 1 B) which is well developed, concavely decurrent beneath pronotal collar, weakly emarginate medially, broadest sublaterally as pair of very blunt apodemes and tapering laterally towards eyes; frons weakly and roundly protuberant near base of anteclypeus; maxillary plates larger than mandibular plates; anteclypeus twice as long as wide, weakly swollen basally but not salient, base squarely truncate, apex broadly rounded, sides weakly convex in anterior view, with three macrosetae (long subbasal pair and very long subapical singleton); labrum slender, reaching L 2; labium 3 -segmented, reaching mesosternum, without macrosetae but with several long, procurved setae, ratio of L 1:L 2:L 3 is roughly 6: 4: 7; bucculae strongly inflated, closed and salient posteroventrally (Fig. 1 B); gula short (much shorter than anteclypeus), without sutures or carinae; genae large, with narrow constriction projecting internally to the prothorax and which is broadest posterior to gula and tapers dorsally to posterior margins of eyes (Fig. 1 B). Antennae half as long as body, A 1���2 subequal; A 3 weakly curved and 140 % as long as the straight A 4, A 3 weakly incrassate subbasally; A 3���4 with fine, semierect seta (25���50 % as long as antennomeres). Thorax. Pronotum weakly declivent; disc weakly convex in lateral view, weakly decurrent anteriorly so that collar is slightly depressed below plane of disc and vertex, disc with pair of faint transverse impressions about one-third from posterior margin, attenuating medially, posterolateral angles rounded, not tumid, pronotal margins rounded in cross section, convexly convergent in dorsal view; apex of mesoscutellum minutely pinched, not dorsally salient, disc not depressed proximally; metascutellum short, broad and U-shaped, barely exceeding mesoscutellar apex; postnotal flange minute and arcuate; metanota not extensive, forming simple rectangular discs lateral to metascutellum; prosternum with flat, roundly triangular disc; mesosternum with flat depressed trapezoidal disc tapering posteriorly; metasternum with inconspicuous, low rounded process between hind coxae (Fig. 1 C); metendosternite broad, truncate; posteroventral angles of metepimera and metepisterna rounded in lateral view (Fig. 1 D). Fore wings. Elytrous, convex, without long setae, with fine recumbent seta, costal margin abruptly and broadly explanate (inflexion forming shallow gutter dorsally) and broadly reflexed ventrally, line of reflexion rounded, reflexed epipleura inclined (not near vertical), weakly concave in cross-section, reaching to about S 7, as wide as hind tibial diameter; anterior and claval sutures absent; venation well-defined, narrow and gently raised, posterior marginal vein runs adjacent to posterior margin of elytron (Fig. 1 E); cells with fine polygonal mosaic which also extends over veins; hind wings absent. Legs with female tarsal formula 2,2, 3, tarsi slender, basal tarsomeres very short; claws long, slender, basally expanded; parempodia straight, as long as claws; arolial sacs absent; tibiae not swollen apically; fore coxae without macroseta; fore femora without ventral groove for reception of fore tibiae; hind coxae with rugose pads located subapically; hind tibiae with several oblique macrosetae distally as well as apically. Abdomen. Posterior margin of female S 7 simple, weakly concave (Fig. 1 F); S 2 not evident; S 3 weakly and roundly contoured to accommodate hind coxae; sterna without pairs of deep sublateral incisions from anterior margins; spiracles on S 6, S 7 and T 8; T 2- 7 with weakly sclerotized rectangular plates; T 8 more sclerotized, with spiracles near anterolateral angles; T 9 large sclerite, weakly convex, without marginal deflection or carina, with anus separated from posterior margin by about one diameter (Fig. 1 F). Genitalia. No ovipositor sclerites evident in unstained, uncleared, undissected, ethanoldistended specimen. Notes. The general appearance of Parvodeceptor resembles Humpatanannus brincki Wygodzinsky, 1958 as figured by Wygodzinsky (1958, Fig. 1) in the large eyes, faint ocelli, anteclypeus with three macrosetae, simple non salient scutellum, explanate and reflexed costal margins of elytra with discernable venation. Unfortunately the male of Parvodeceptor is unknown so that a better comparison with Humpatanannus Wygodzinsky 1950 cannot be made. However, Parvodeceptor does not closely resemble Humpatanannus in that the maxillary/mandibular plate proportions are normal (maxillary plates larger), the base of the anteclypeus is not strongly salient, A 3 and A 4 are not subequal, the claval suture is not discernable on the elytra, the venation is narrow, lacks marginal punctation and its scheme is unlike Humpatanannus, the fore femora and tibiae lack ventral rows of macrosetae; the fore femora lack a ventral groove for reception of the fore tibiae; the mesosternum is simpler, the metasternal process is rudimentary, there is no indication of abdominal parasternites and the posterior margin of the female terminal sternum is simple and weakly convex. The absence of a pair of ocular macrosetae on the vertex overhanging the eyes may be real or perhaps an artefact of damage. A single pair of such macrosetae is universal in Hypselosomatinae but also occurs in adult Humpatanannus, Hoplonannus McAtee and Malloch, 1925 and Corixidea Reuter, 1891 and nymphs of several genera (Emsley 1969). Two pairs of orbital macrosetae occur in Ogeria Distant, 1913, Kaimon Hill, 2004 and Pinochius Carayon, 1949. None occur in Pachyplagioides Gross, 1951 and Pachyplagia Gross, 1951 although the former has a pair of macroseta more medially on the vertex, not overhanging the eyes. fem fem male male male fem fem male fem male fem Type species. Parvodeceptor infrequens sp. n. by present designation. Distribution. One locality on the Atherton Tableland in north-east Queensland. Habitats. The specimen was collected by pyrethrum knock-down (fogging) from logs and trees. It is the only specimen known from 4700 specimens of Schizopteridae sorted from 1050 schizopterid samples collected by QM and ANIC using a variety of methods dominated by Berlese funnel extractions from leaf litter and moss but also including pyrethrum knockdown, stick brushing and flight intercept traps mostly from wet forest habitats of eastern Australia. Etymology. From the Latin adjective parvus (small) and noun deceptor (deceiver) alluding to the deceptive hypselosomatine appearance of this small bug.

Boat Mountain is a flat-topped ridge covered in dry rainforest and open eucalypt woodland. Most of the vegetation was originally hoop pine, Araucaria cunninghamii rainforest but now is a mixture of softwood scrub and vine thicket following logging. This species is distinguished from S. monteithi, which occurs only 4km away, by shorter left paramere and absence of right anophoric process. It is possible that observation of these two characters was flawed by artefacts of slide preparation. Both possess a multicoiled vesica. Etymology.

Sailor, ex Culicoides trap in cattle paddock, dissected on seven slides in QM. Paratypes: T 189824 -5, 1 mac. ♂, as for holotype, whole in vial in QM; 1 mac. ♂, NEQ, Bramwell Station via Cairns, 18���20 Nov 2008, T. Kerlin and B. Cookson, ex Culicoides trap, left fore wing on slide, remainder undissected in vial in QM. Description. Brown with two cream bands, that is clavus and adjoining corium and distal membrane cream. L 4 relatively long, ratio of lengths of labial segments 35: 30: 13: 42; costal lobe wide; divergence of R+M from Sc midway along lobe, distal to the proximal m-cu cross vein therefore subcostal cell short (R+M is parallel and contiguous with C+Sc proximally); no emargination of membrane at apex of costal lobe; cell R Notes. The large crescentic conjunctival process is similar in size to that of S. alboclavatus. The long right process of T 8 was not observed in other Silhouettanus species described here and resembles that of Pinochius josifovi Redei, 2008 (R��dei 2008: fig 13). Its presence means that two not one curved struts embrace the genital capsule laterally on the right in this new species. The contiguity of R+M to C+Sc for half the length of the costal lobe may be apomorphic. Undescribed, macropterous females are known from Moa and Saibai Islands in Torres Strait not far from Bamaga at the tip of Cape York Peninsula. Another species of Silhouettanus, not described here, also occurs at Bamaga. It is notable for a medial pit on the pronotal sulcus of males. Such a pit was not observed in any other species described here but is probably analogous to pits or sensory areas that occur in the males of several other schizopterid genera variously on the anteclypeus, postclypeus, frons, vertex, pronotum and clavus. The male of this undescribed species has R+M separating basally from C+Sc, two pale bands across the fore wing, cell R subequal to the discal cell, a vesica with one loop and an outwardly recurved apex on the spinous, curved major conjunctival process.
