Figs 159–161 , 192 Diagnosis. Ecnomina concava closely resembles other species in the group and it is distinguished by tergum X with a pair of processes which are sub triangular, reaching half the length of the superior appendages and the inferior appendages with slightly elongate meso-distal excision. Description. Head, body and wings light brown to fawn, abdomen paler ventrally; wings similar to E. merki ( Fig. 172 ). Forewing length about 2.9–3.1 times width: male 2.6–2.8 mm , female 2.7 mm . Forewing fork 2 relatively long, with short footstalk, length footstalk about 0.2–0.8 times length cross-vein r-m, length fork about 1.3–1.7 times length of fork 3; fork 3 relatively short, with long footstalk, length fork about 1.6–2.4 times length footstalk, footstalk length about 1.9–2.2 times length cross-vein m, r-m and m nearly contiguous at footstalk fork 3, r-m and m separated by about 0–1.0 times length of cross-vein m; fork 4 slightly shorter than fork 3; fork 5 long, length about twice length of fork 4. Hindwing length about 2.9 times width, fork 2 with short footstalk, length footstalk about 0.6–0.7 times length cross-vein r-m, fork length about 1.4–1.6 times length of fork 3. Male Tergum X membranous, with one pair of relatively long, sub triangular, robust dorsal processes, narrowly separated, slightly crenulated meso-distally ( Fig. 161 ). Superior appendages in lateral view, length about 3.5 times width ( Fig. 159 ); in dorsal view, length about 3 times width, dilated slightly and with several spines distally ( Fig. 161 ). Phallus simple, tube-like, slender ( Fig. 159 ). Inferior appendages short; in ventral view, fused in basal third, dilated and truncated distally, with elongate ovoid excision meso-distally, length about two thirds width ( Fig. 160 ); in lateral view, dilated slightly distally, length about 2.5 times width ( Fig. 159 ). Female. Genitalia with a single short, broadbased, slender digitiform mesal process on sternite VIII; segment IX relatively long, tapered slightly distally, segment X relatively short and segments IX and X relatively slender ( Fig. 192 ). Holotype male : Northern Territory , SAR, Rock Hole Ck (about 13°29'S , 132°30'E ), lt tr., Nov 1988 , P. Dostine ( NMV , T-19865). Paratypes : Northern Territory . 3 males (specimen CT-513 figured), collected with holotype ; 1 female (specimen CT-517 figured), ARRS Radon Springs, 12°45'S , 132°55'E , 2 V lt tr., 13–14 Apr 1989 , P. Suter and A.W. ( NMV ) . Etymology. Concava - Latin word for hollow, concave (inferior appendages). Remarks. Four males of Ecnomina concava have been collected from the two localities in the South Alligator River Region of the Northern Territory (latitudinal range 12°45' - 13°29'S ).
