Maeniana apicalis (Walker, 1851) comb. nov. Fig. 55 Eurybrachys apicalis Walker, 1851: 393 (described). Olonia apicalis – Stål 1862: 488 (transferred to Olonia in key to genera of Eurybrachidae). — Atkinson 1886: 13 (English translation of Stål’s key). — Kirkaldy 1906: 445 (listed). non Olonia apicalis – Lallemand 1935 (listed from Fergusson River, Katherine, Northern Territory, Australia (erroneous identification)). Material examined Holotype AUSTRALIA • ♀; W Australia, NW coast; “ N. Holl., N.W. Coast / on the reverse / 44, 14”, “Type”, “ Eurybrachys apicalis, ”, “Re-pinned on stainless”; BMNH. Remarks This species is known from a single female, but closely related species were examined in the course of this study and their male genitalia show that they belong to the genus Maeniana, a view supported by a comparison with the male genitalia of the type species, Maeniana hirsuta (Jacobi, 1928) (Constant, unpublished data)., Published as part of Constant, Jérôme, 2018, Revision of the Eurybrachidae XIV.

Genus Maeniana Metcalf, 1952 Maenia Jacobi, 1928: 6 (nec Maenia Dalton, 1877) (type species: Maenia hirsuta Jacobi, 1928 by original designation). Maeniana Metcalf, 1952: 228 (nom. nov. pro Maenia Jacobi, 1928 nec Maenia Dalton, 1877). Maeniana – Metcalf 1956: 67 (catalogued). Remarks The most relevant diagnostic characters to recognize the genus Maeniana are these of the male genitalia (based on the male holotype of M. hirsuta (Jacobi, 1928)): (1) posterior margin of the pygofer with elongate laterodorsal process projecting posteriorly (2) gonostyli not or very shortly fused basally (3) laterodorsal part of the gonostyli elongate and laminate, without spine or hook, and bearing spoonshaped process apically, Published as part of Constant, Jérôme, 2018, Revision of the Eurybrachidae XIV.
