FIGURE 6. Distribution map of Desudaboides melindae and D. nigrifrons in Australia. Diagnosis. The species is immediately recognized by the following combination of characters: ( 1 ) frons red, often with oblique carinae olivaceous, ( 2 ) hind wings with bright orange base, ( 3 ) abdominal tergites 3 to 8 red, ( 4 ) tegmina opaque, variegated brown. Description. LT: Ƥ (n = 3): 17.3 mm (16.3–18.0). Head : red, more or less marked with green and brown ( Figs. 1 G–H ); frons often with brown transverse line along superior margin of disc, and oblique discal carinae green-brown; infero-lateral angles of frons and baso-lateral angles of postclypeus marked with green-brown ( Fig. 1 H ); antennae orange to red; pedicel large, inflated, reniform ( Fig. 1 H ); ratio BV/LV = 4.8; BF/LF = 1.6. Thorax : prothorax red more or less marked with green and brown, especially infero-lateral angles ( Fig. 1 G ); mesonotum red with brown markings on sides of disc ( Fig. 1 G ); ratio LP+LM/BT = 0.9; LM/LP = 2.1. Tegmina : variegated orange-brown to brown with membrane opaque, hyaline in places, with brown confluent spots; costal cell marked with pale green and 4–5 dark brown patches ( Fig. 1 G ); ratio LTg/BTg = 3.3. Hind wings : base largely orange limited by broad brown line extending from middle of costal margin, along basal half of sutural margin, to postero-basal angle; apex hyaline; veins brown, orange in orange zone ( Fig. 1 G ). Legs : red; tibiae with 1-2 green-brown rings; apices of spines of hind legs black ( Fig. 1 G ). Abdomen : bright red with basal tergites black ( Fig. 1 G ). Biology.
