Etymology. “ Turrondi ” means “to saw” in Kaurna, a language spoken by Aboriginal people living in the Adelaide Plains (Thieberger & McGregor 1994). This species is named after the serrated rim of the cucullus. Colour. Vertex mid brown with two longitudinal, white stripes; frons mid to dark brown, lateral carinae paler, without dots; pronotum light brown; mesonotum light to mid brown; legs light brown; forewing hyaline, colourless, with transverse band (tb1) wide, mid to dark brown, extending to immediately basad of pterostigma, covering fork CuA1+CuA2 and terminating at CuP, forewing with transverse band (tb2) narrow, mid to dark brown, around basal cell reaching into clavus, forewing with mid or dark brown marks scattered across wing, apical half of wing with light brown patches; veins concolorous with cells, tubercles mid brown, pterostigma light brown; abdominal sternites light or mid brown. Morphology. Body length: ɗ 4.7–5.5 mm , Ψ 5.7–6.7 mm . Head: Vertex 0.5–0.8 x as long as wide. In lateral view, vertex and frons forming curve, head at junction of vertex and frons no more than very slightly produced. Frons 2.5–3.8 x longer than wide; median carina incomplete, covering about 1/2 of length of frons; lateral carinae not extending laterally, not concealing base of antennae; median ocellus separated from frontoclypeal suture by less than its own diameter. Rostrum slightly surpassing hind coxae. Thorax: Forewing 2.4–2.6 x longer than wide; CuA1+CuA2 forking 1/5–1/6 away from apex of clavus; costa with 13–16 tubercles. Hind leg: tibia with 3–5 small to medium sized lateral spines; 1st tarsomere with 8 apical teeth; 2nd tarsomere with 8 apical teeth and 1–4 very fine setae underneath row of apical teeth. Male genitalia: Anal tube as in Figs 9C–D; genital styles and ventromedian process as in Figs 9E–F. Aedeagus (Figs 9A–B): phallotheca with long, very wide cucullus, distinctly curved in left lateral view (Fig. 9A), lower rim of cucullus conspicuously serrated; flagellum unarmed; virga elongated, sinuate. Remarks. The proportions and shape of the cucullus in combination with the conspicuously serrated rim of the cucullus are diagnostic for this species.
