Oedosmylus tasmaniensis
Krüger, 1913a
: 106
(by original designation).
Diagnosis.
Female forecoxa with pedicellate setae either as larger setae in small patch, or as smaller setae more widely distributed, preapical anteroventral process absent; wings relatively narrow and ovoid, to broad and slightly falcate; FW venation dark, membrane markings variable, from mostly hyaline to mottled and darkly suffused; FW costal area relatively narrow; FW stem of RP short, RP originating close to wing base, RP1 originating close to origin of RP; RP branches strongly sinuous distally in both wings; FW end-twigging irregular and intermittent along posterior margin of wing; FW M forked midway along wing, both MA and MP pectinately to dichotomously branched; female with FW MP, CuA and/or 2A veins incrassate; CuA and CuP curved towards posterior wing margin distally; FW 2A terminating in wing margin before origin of first branch of RP; male tergites 8 and 9 entirely fused with sulcus evident; gonarcus usually with an apical acuminate prominence and densely setose, anterior apodeme of gonarcus short and narrow; entoprocessus broad and subtriangular; female sternite 8 flattened to concave, often with narrow lateral processes.
Comments
.
Oedosmylus
is closely related to
Stenosmylus
and
Stenolysmus
, sharing a variety of wing venation and male and female genitalic characters (
Kimmins, 1940
;
New 1990
;
Winterton
et al.
, 2017
). The apical acuminate process of the male gonarcus found in most species is apparently unique to
Oedosmylus
.
