Diagnosis. The male of Barynema dilatum closely resembles that of B. dolabratum sp. nov. in having the inferior appendages each with the harpago reduced to a small apically setose ventral lobe and the coxopodite in lateral view produced and curved ventrad distally. In B. dolabratum, the upper penis cover in ventral view appears to form two lobes apically, with the ventral lobe expanded and rounded laterally, in contrast with B. dolabratum, which has the upper penis cover in ventral view pick-shaped apically.
Description. Mesothorax with mesoscutellum shield-shaped, without setate warts; fresh adult males with body and wings dark except white area at anastomosis on wings.
Male. Length of each forewing 9.3–10.3 mm (n = 10). Sternite VII without median tab or spur. Genitalia: Pre-anal appendages in dorsal view broadest at about midpoint, constricted towards base. Upper penis cover distally bilobed, dorsal lobe tapered apically in ventral view, rounded in lateral view, ventral lobe expanded and rounded laterally towards apex. Inferior appendages each with coxopodite base short, stout, produced to form a dorsal lobe with slender neck before slightly dilated apex bearing short stubby black setae, harpago short, rod-shaped, bearing dense brush of short black setae apically.
Female. Length of each forewing 11.8–17.7 mm (n = 10). Terminalia: Apical lobes conical, tapered to darkly sclerotised apices.
Distribution. From north-eastern Queensland, west of Tully to the Cairns district.
Etymology. The name is derived from the Latin dilato, to extend, for the lateral swellings on the upper penis cover lobes.
