Austrotinodes Schmid, a South and Central American caddisfly genus, newly recorded in Australia, with the description of new species (Trichoptera: Ecnomidae) Author Cartwright, David I. text Zootaxa 2009 2009-06-26 2142 1 1 19 https://biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.2142.1.1 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.2142.1.1 1175-5326 5320938 Austrotinodes mubar sp. nov. Figs 16–18 , 38 Diagnosis. Austrotinodes mubar separates from the other group members in that the superior appendages in lateral view are relatively slender and tapered in apical half; in dorsal view, with subapical mesal process, forming a shallow concavity with apex.

Description. Head, body and wings brown; wings similar to A. yalga ( Fig. 14 ). Forewing length about 2.9–3.2 times width: male 5.8–6.2 mm . Forewing fork 2 long, with footstalk, footstalk about twice the length of cross-vein r-m, length fork about same length as fork 3; fork 3 long, length fork about 2.8–3.1 times length footstalk, footstalk length about 1.8 times length cross-vein m. Hindwing length about 3 times width; fork 2 footstalk short, length about 0.9–1.2 times length cross-vein r-m, fork about same length as fork 3. Male. Tergum X membranous with a pair of slender, straight processes ( Fig. 18 ). Superior appendages in lateral view, relatively slender and tapered in apical half, with short ventro-mesal process with group of four long spines ( Fig. 16 ); in dorsal view, length about 3 times width, with subapical mesal process, forming a shallow concavity with apex, extensive membranous area mesal to superior appendages ( Fig. 18 ). Phallus generally tube-like, slightly bulbous apically ( Fig. 16 ); with a dark bifid process (phallic guide) arising from near the base of the inferior appendages. Inferior appendages in ventral view, small, paired ‘talon-like’ processes, bases widely separated ( Fig. 17 ); in lateral view, length about same as width, very broad and rounded laterally near the middle, narrowed subapically, with rounded apex ( Fig. 16 ). Female. Female genitalia with a pair of slender lobes with small mesal processes meso-basally; segment IX relatively long, tapered slightly distally, segment XI relatively very short with pair of cerci and papillae; segments IX and X have scattered pairs of ‘spiny-hairs’ ( Fig. 38 ).

Paratypes : New South Wales . 1 male (specimen PT-1802 figured) , 1 female , collected with holotype ; 1 female (specimen CT-495 figured), same site and collector as holotype , 19 Nov– 4 Dec 1988 ; 1 female , Gloucester Tops 32°04'S , 151°34'E , el. 1300 m , 2-3 Dec 1988 , Theischinger and Mueller ( NMV ) . Etymology. Mubar - Aboriginal word for spine (superior appendages). Remarks. This species is known from only two male and three female specimens collected from the type locality in north-eastern New South Wales (latitude 32°04'S ).
