description: <i>Brephilydia jejuna</i> (Pascoe, 1864) (Figs. 5 E–I, 14E, 15H, 16D) <i>Mallodon jejunum</i> Pascoe, 1864: 243. TL: Richmond River (New South Wales). Lectotype in BNHM (designated here). <i>Macrotoma papyria</i> Pascoe, 1864: 244. TL: South(?) Australia. Holotype in BNHM (examined). Synonymised by Lameere, 1903a. <b> <i>Diagnosis</i>.</b> This species is highly variable but can be separated from <i>B. fearni</i> by having obtuse angled frontoclypeal suture (Fig. 5E), the mandibular surface with relatively long and dense hairs and relatively shorter elytra (about 4 times pronotum length in male, about 5 times length of pronotum in female). It is widely distributed in New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland. <b> <i>Types</i>.</b> Pascoe (1864) had several specimens when describing <i>Mallodon jejunum</i> Pascoe, but only single specimen remains in the BNHM. Herein we designate this male specimen as the lectotype, with the following original labels “ Richmond R. | Pascoe Coll. 93-60. | Mallodon jejunum Pasc., Type ”. <i>Macrotoma papyria</i> Pascoe, holotype female deposited in BNHM, with the following original labels “ Macrotoma papyria Pasc. | Australia | Pascoe Coll. 93-60”. <i>Material examined</i> (Fig. 16D). <b>New South Wales: AM</b> (6 <b>&amp;male;&amp;male;</b>; 2 <b>&amp;female;&amp;female;</b>): 4: Mt.

Both types of males have been collected in the same area, and even reared from the same log (personal observation, R. de Keyzer). We have found no significant differences in mitochondrial genome sequences and have kept them under the same species. <b> <i>Molecular data</i>.</b> BioSample ID: SAMN12650016, SAMN12650115, SAMN12650116, SAMN12650117, SAMN11080866.
