Australian Marsh Beetles (Coleoptera: Scirtidae). 7. Genus Nothocyphon, new genus Author Zwick, Peter text Zootaxa 2015 3981 3 301 359 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3981.3.1 13ca0acb-0db1-4ee9-bb85-a90cdc65dcf3 1175-5326 240978 34F39733-E55C-4695-8749-E6811F675740 The amphora -group T9 strongly reduced, in preparations often barely perceptible. The anteriorly truncate penis resembles an amphora , with handles formed by the abruptly outcurving parameroids (e.g., Figs. 83, 85 : pb). The trigonium is basally wide, then restricted to a long bottleneck, the tip mostly again wider. The flat band-like parameroids are shorter than the apparently rigid trigonium which is not visibly articulated with the pala. There is a bracket-like transverse sclerite of uncertain homology, possibly the tegmen. The parameres are independent from it, separate, each with a basal rod and a caudal plate of variable form, armed with spines. Females (known only of N. armstrongi ): S7 with two areas with micropores and fine canals ( Fig. 89 ). The apodemes of S8 are anteriorly connected by a ring (not shown). Prehensor with two large strongly spinose sclerites ( Fig. 90 ). The few species live in the southeast of Australia and were rarely collected.
