Male. Tergite 8: transverse, apical portion with a few small setae, apodemes strongly sclerotized, about twice as long as apical portion, diverging basally. Tergite 9: apical portion relative large, moderately long seta on apical margin; apodemes strongly sclerotized, about as long as apical portion, diverging basically. Sternite 9 small, broadly bilobed, apex with a few long setae, apodemes short, merging. Aedeagus complex, asymmetric, basal piece greatly reduced, trigonium relatively broad, weakly sinuate, apex pointed, one edge with well-developed setae; parameroids absent (possibly represented by irregular projections on anterior edge of basal piece). Tegmen well developed, parameres well developed, long, thin, robust, and connected at their bases by a narrow stirrup-like bridge which partially surrounds the penis, one side of bridge fused to penis ( Fig. 21 ). FIGURES 17–22. Tegmen and penis of: 17) Scirtes auratus ; 18) S. serratus ; 19) S . interstinctus ; 20) S. lynnae ; 21) S. albamaculatus . 22) Penis of S. pinjarraensis . FIGURES 23–28. 23) Male terminalia of Scirtes zwicki : a) tergite 8, b) tergite 9, c) sternite 9, d) trigonium, e) tegmen. 24) Habitus photograph of Scirtes zwicki ; 25) ditto, ♀ S. albamaculatus . 26) Clypeolabrum of last instar larva of S. lynnae ; 27) ditto, S. serratus ; 28) ditto, S . triangularis . Female. Apices of elytra with a transverse, bare, depression surrounded by slightly longer setae (excitator of Ruta 2008 ) ( Fig. 25 ). Coxites elongate, styli small, oval, apodemes long, simple, prehensor weakly sclerotised broad with two thin serrated lateral ridges, bursal sclerite moderately sclerotized, signet-ring-shaped with or without an internal prong ( Fig. 6 ). Specimens examined. 6, ‘Eubenangee Swamp, Queensland , at light, 13/3/13 , CHS Watts’. Notes. A relatively rare species so far known only from coastal swamps of North Queensland . Larva not known.
