Key to adult males of
Austropsyche
Banks
1. Phallus bulbous distally, narrowly truncate and sclerotised apically; sharp, sclerotised, ventrally curving spine arising apicolaterally on abdominal segments IX/X, and second thread-like sclerotised process arising from internal apodeme (
Fig. 67
); mesal process on coxopodite of each gonopod about half length of its harpago (
Figs 66–67
,
94
)......
Austropsyche morana
sp. nov
.
-. Phallus not bulbous distally, without sclerotised apex; abdominal segments IX/X with or without membranous plate or lobe apicolaterally, but without apicolateral sclerotised spine; mesal process on each coxopodite variable in length (e.g.,
Figs 52
, 59, 63)................................................................................................. 2
2(1) Gonopods each with mesal process stout, apically roughly truncate, basal on coxopodite (
Figs 68–69
,
90–91
)..........................................................................................
Austropsyche kaputar
sp. nov
.
-. Gonopods each with mesal process narrow, conical or slender, curving to acute or irregular apex, apical or sub-apical on coxopodite (e.g.,
Figs 52
, 59, 63)............................................................................ 3
3(2) Forewings each with median cell equal in length to discoidal cell (
Figs 50
,
78
); gonopods each with mesal process apical on coxopodite (
Figs 59, 61
,
92, 93
); with pair of slender sclerotised spines projecting distally (
Figs 59–60, 61–62
,
92–93
), without short sclerotised spines subapically on phallus.............................................................. 4
-. Forewings each with median cell about 1.3x length of discoidal cell (e.g.,
Figs 49
,
77
); gonopods each with mesal process sub-
apical on coxopodite; without pair of slender, elongate, sclerotised spines as above (e.g.,
Figs 52
, 63–65), but with short sclerotised spines on phallus (e.g.,
Figs 53, 56
, 63–64, 87–88)....................................................... 5
4(3) Gonopods each with mesal process about 3/4 length of harpagone, slender, acute apically; small conical tubercle between mesal process and harpago (
Figs 59
,
92
).............................................
Austropsyche acuta
sp. nov
.
-. Gonopods each with mesal process no more than half length of harpagone, variably blunt or pointed apically; without small conical tubercle between mesal process and harpago (
Figs 61–62
,
93
)....................
Austropsyche ambigua
sp. nov
.
5(3) Gonopods each with mesal process on coxopodite short, irregular in shape; sclerotised spines on phallus in ventral view straight; in ventral view, small rounded plate visible dorsal to gonopods, in lateral view apicomedial margin slightly produced (
Figs 63–65
,
88–89
)........................................................
Austropsyche bifurcata
(Kimmins)
-. Gonopods each with mesal process on coxopodite short, conical and apically acute in ventral view; sclerotised spines on phallus in ventral view curved; apex of phallus membranous, sometimes protruded; in ventral view membranous plates lateral to gonopods mesally produced posterad, in lateral view forming irregular midapicolateral lobe (
Figs 53–55
, 84–87)......................................................................................
