Key to Species of Tasmanityrus (Males) 
1. Mesotrochanters carinate ventrally (Fig. 14), mesotibial spurs 
small, barely longer than first mesotarsomeres hilli n. sp. 
Mesotrochangers with ventral tooth (Fig. 16), mesotibial spurs 
1.4X or more as long as first mesotarsomeres 2 
2. (1) Apical flagellomeres at most barely curved ventrally in apical 
half, ventral margin nearly straight; northeastern Tasmania .... 
simplicis n. sp. 
Apical flagellomeres strongly curved ventrally toward apex, out- 
line strongly concave in lateral view (Fig. 13) 3 
3. (2) Right paramere developed, longer than penis (Fig. 17); 
southwestern Tasmania newtoni n. sp. 
Left paramere developed 4 
4. (3) Penis apex acute, paramere abruptly curved laterally at apex 
(Fig. 19); southwestern Tasmania auricomus ( Lea) 
Penis apex broadly truncate or broadly asymmetrical, paramere 
differently formed (Figs. 20-22) 5 
5. (4) Mesotrochanteral spurs and apical spur of mesotibiae same 
length; northeastern Tasmania orientalis n. sp. 
Mesotrochanteral spurs at most two-thirds length of apical spur 
of mesotibiae 6 
6. (5) Penis apex symmetrical, paramere broadly rounded to medial 
point; southwestern Tasmania thayeri n. sp. 
Penis apex asymmetrical with left margin protruding, paramere 
apex truncate and acutely angled laterally; northwestern Tas- 
mania septentrionalis n. sp. 
Tasmanityrus hilli n. sp. 
(Figs. 13-15) 
Length 1.83-2.01. Male with deep oblique ventral impression on 
last flagellomere, penultimate flagellomere asymmetrical, obtusely 
produced on ventral margin; mesotrochanters carinate ventrally, 
mesotibiae with apical spur as long as first tarsomere, spur acutely 
pointed at apex; aedeagus with asymmetrical apex, right paramere 
strongly developed, flattened and twisted ventrally, expanded at 
apex. 
Measurements of holotype: Flagellomere VII 0.10 wide, 0.11 
long; VIII 0.11 wide, 0.12 long; IX 0.12 wide, 0.24 long; mesotibial 
spur 0.05 long, first mesotarsomere 0.06 long.
