Diagnosis: Differs from all other species by the conspicuously emarginate and black nodules of elytral punctation. Length: ( 8 specimens measured) Total length: 14–17 mm . Head: Dark brown to black, with dense, fine yellowish pilosity; with dense punctation and wrinkles; epistomal suture more or less distinct; eyes partially with metallic sheen; interocular space about one to 1.5 eye width. Thorax: Pronotal length to width ratio 1.06:1; pronotum dark brown, with dense, fine yellowish pilosity, with dense punctation, sides with distinct wrinkles; slightly convergent towards apex; grooves of sub-basal collar distinct, separated by a wide bar or fused. Scutellum dark brown, with isolated pilosity. Elytra: Elytral length to width ratio 2.60:1; elytra light brown to dark brown, basally darker than in apical half, partially with a light transverse fascia, with isolated, fine, yellowish-white pilosity; elytral base slightly wider than pronotum, broader towards apex; diameter of elytral punctation in basal half as wide as interstices, slightly decreasing towards apex; punctations of tenth stria distinct almost towards apex; elytral punctation with three conspicuously emarginate, black nodules; interstices 4 and 6 slightly ridged behind middle, all others flattened; interstices with a conspicuous microsculpture. FIGURE 35. Eunatalis pernodulosa n. sp. : (A) Phallus lateral, (B) Phallus ventral, (C) Tegmen ventral, (D) Spicular fork, (E) Pygidium, (F) Ventrite VI. Lower surface: Dark brown to black, with light white pilosity; procoxal cavities slightly opened posteriorly. Legs: Light brown to dark brown, densely covered with white hairs; finely punctate and wrinkled; mesotibiae bent. Abdomen: Tegmen ventrally closed, sides open; phallic tip spatulate, bent and slightly notched; spicular fork fused only at base. Distribution: Occasional in coastal regions of West Australia and New South Wales , in the interior of Northern Territory and North Queensland. Seasonal occurrence: Collected from August to May. Etymology: The specific epithet, pernodulosa , a Latin adjective refers to the conspicuous nodules of the elytral punctations. FIGURE 36. Distribution of Eunatalis pernodulosa n. sp. Eunatalis planipennis (Blackburn, 1899) ( Figures 37–38 , 57 B) Natalis planipennis Blackburn, 1899: 30 , 32. Natalis porcata Spinola (non Fabricius, 1787) 1844: 201 (t. 16, f. 2); Blackburn 1899: 32. Specimens examined: Natalis planipennis : Lectotype (designated here): Type ; 880 T.; Australia , Blackburn Coll., B.M. 1910-236; Natalis planipennis , Blackb. (♂, BMNH). Paralectotype (designated here): SAMA Database No. 25-035804; Natalis planipennis , Blackb., Cotype ; Natalis planipennis Bl., aus Tas., 9586 Cotype (SAMA). Comment on availability : Natalis planipennis : Although Blackburn (1899: 32) did not provide a description of N. planipennis its differentiation from twelve other Natalis species within an identification key, and from a closely related species ( N. fasciata ) within comparative notes, is enough to satisfy the terms of ICZN (1999) Article 12.1 regarding it being an available name. Additionally, in stating that N. planipennis "= porcata Spinola nec Fab." Blackburn implied an indirect reference to Spinola's (1844: 201) published description (see ICZN 1999: Article 12.2.1) of specimens misidentified as Natalis porcata (Fabricius) . Natalis porcata, sensu Spinola , is not an available name. Comment on the type specimens : As Blackburn (1899) made no explicit reference to specimens, all N. planipennis 'type' material should be treated as syntypes (ICZN 1999: Article 73.2) and, as such, are available for lectotype designation (ICZN 1999: Article 74.1). Following Recommendation 74D (ICZN 1999) we have designated the BMNH syntype the lectotype because the majority of Blackburn's types are held in that institution (Lea 1912). The SAMA syntype is designated a paralectotype . Others: Drummond Cove, 12 km N Geraldton, Western Australia , May 1973 , N. Mcfarland; collected at ultraviolet light; Reg.no. 83279 (WAMP).

Diagnosis: E. planipennis is characterized by the strongly protruding wrinkles at the sides of the pronotum. The habitus is long and slender and the elytra is almost parallel with only interstices 4 and 6 slightly ridged from the middle onwards (all others are flattened). The tegmen is constricted in the middle. FIGURE 37. Eunatalis planipennis : (A) Phallus lateral, (B) Phallus ventral, (C) Tegmen ventral, (D) Spicular fork, (E) Pygidium, (F) Ventrite VI. Length: ( 827 specimens measured) Total length: 15–26 mm . Head: Black, with isolated greyish pilosity; with dense punctation and wrinkles; epistomal suture distinct; interocular space from one to 1.5 eye width. Thorax: Pronotal length to width ratio 1.13:1; dark brown to black, with isolated pilosity; slightly convergent towards apex; pronotum with dense small punctation, sides with strongly protruding wrinkles; grooves of sub-basal collar distinct, fused. Scutellum dark brown to black. Elytra: Elytral length to width ratio 2.80:1; elytra dark brown to black, with isolated pilosity; elytral base slightly broader than pronotum, slightly broader behind middle; elytral punctation basally as large as interstices, punctations conspicuously decreasing behind middle, and becoming extinct before apex; punctations of striae 7 and 8 only slightly decreasing behind middle, conspicuously decreasing just shortly before apex; punctations of tenth stria distinct towards middle; punctations of ninth stria vestigial; elytral punctation with three nodules; interstices 4 and 6 slightly ridged from middle onwards, all others flattened; interstices with more or less conspicuous microsculpture. Lower surface: Dark brown to black, with dense pilosity; metaventrite densely punctate and finely wrinkled; procoxal cavities slightly opened posteriorly. Legs: Black, with dense pilosity and wrinkles; mesotibiae slightly bent. Abdomen: Tegmen ventrally closed, sides open, in the middle constricted; spicular fork fused to one-third. Distribution: Mainly in coastal regions of South Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, occasionally in the interior and with a single location in New Guinea . Seasonal occurrence: Collected during the whole year.
