). In these species, the copulatory ducts are unsclerotized from their origin, becoming sclerotized to varying degrees depending on the species. They extend anteriorly, typically beyond the more sclerotized part of the plate, curve posterodorsally, with the small accessory bulb near the curve, come together medially, then extend laterally, wrapping around variously sized spermathecae which have an anterior bulb and may be shaped like a dumbbell or a light bulb. The new species differs from the others in that the copulatory openings have no hoods, and they are anterior of the accessory bulbs, nearer the level that the copulatory ducts curve in toward one another (Fig.

The Gascoyne has an arid tropical climate, warm throughout the year, with mean maximum daily temperatures ranging from 22° in July to 35 °C in January. The region receives ~ 320 days of sunshine per year. The Kennedy Range is located in the Carnarvon xeric shrublands bioregion, with spinifex and mulga, and little tree cover. The region receives <250 mm of rain a year that occurs bimodally, a large portion from cyclonic activity. The IBRA bioregion is the Carnarvon, and the subregion is Wooramel, a shrubby steppe with red sand dunes that even occur on top of the Kennedy Range (

Males are present in November, when it is hotter and drier. After a full year, sel_1133 was not yet an adult (Suppl. material 2: tables S1, S16).
