Description
Genus Monophylla Spinola
Monophylla terminata (Say): Blackburn (1901) described Elasmocerus picticollis Blackburn (Fig. 6) from a single specimen collected in Victoria (specific location and circumstance not mentioned). Corporaal (1949) synonymised E. picticollis with the North American species Monophylla terminata (Say) after advice from E. A. Chapin who believed that Blackburn’s specimen was probably introduced into Australia with grape vines from America. The absence of subsequently collected Australian specimens suggests that M. terminata did not become established in Australia after it’s detection.
Distribution: Eastern North America to Texas and Arizona (Corporaal 1950a).
Status: Monophylla terminata is non-native and absent in Australia.
