Kimsey — Loboscelidiinae from Malaysia 
73 
sparse macrochaetae; midtibial flange extending along two-thirds of 
tibia; hindfemoral flange large, extending along entire femoral 
length; hindtibial posterior margin weakly bicarinate, one faint, the 
other expanded and flangelike, ventral flange large, extending entire 
length; forewing R1 0.3X, cu-a as long as and Rs 2X as long as 
stigmal length. Body reddish brown, except flagellum, head, leg 
joints, tarsi and abdomen dark brown, head blackish dorsally; fore- 
wing maculate. 
Female unknown. 
Holotype male. — Australia: Qld., Hugh Nelson Ranch, 21 km s 
Atherton, 9 January- 10 February 1984, Storey and Brown (Indoo- 
roopily). Paratypes: 6 males, same data as type (Indooroopily, 
Davis). 
Discussion. This is the only Australian species described which 
has notauli. Other characteristics, particularly the large hindleg 
flanges, short Rs and long cu-a veins, show a distinct similarity to 
ora. However, the presence of notauli and contrastingly dark head 
will distinguish nigricephala. In addition, nigricephala has a pro- 
nounced medial carina below the frontal projection.
