Description

Platybrachys ornata (Lallemand, 1928) comb. nov.

Fig. 56

Olonia ornata Lallemand, 1928: 393 (described).

Olonia ornata – Metcalf 1956: 65 (catalogued).

Material examined

Holotype

AUSTRALIA • ♀; Northern Territory, Hermansburg; “Hermansburg, N.T., S. Australia, H.J. Hillier. 1907 – 233.”, “Type”, “ Olonia ornata Lallemand, Type, dét. V. Lallemand 19”, “10”; BMNH.

Remarks

The species is known from a single female and the key to the genera proposed by Fennah (1964) leads to the genus Platybrachys Stål, 1859. It is quite similar to P. leucostigma (Walker, 1851) (illustrations of the latter species available in Hacker 1924: fig. 14) by showing an apical white border on the posterior wings and numerous elongate cells in the costal area. The species is here transferred to Platybrachys, although it is obvious that a complete revision of the genus will be necessary (Constant 2008a).
