Tuponia roseipennis Reuter, 1878: 21.
Tuponia roseipennis: Drapolyuk, 1980: 49; Zheng and Li, 1992: 9.
Diagnosis. Recognized by medium sized, total length 3.58–3.68 (male), 3.61–3.72 (female); general coloration yellow, pronotum and scutellum green, exposed part of mesoscutum yellow, clavus sometimes completely dark; dorsum with recumbent, dark simple setae and sericeous setae; eyes almost occupying entire height of head in lateral view; antennal segment I with a black ring at base; labium yellowish with black apex, reaching meta-coxa; posterior parts of clavus and corium darkened with dense black setae, membrane fumose with pale markings; legs yellowish green, meta-femur with small spots at apex, tibial spines dark without black bases, tarsus and claws darkened; abdomen green or yellowish green with golden pubescence. Based on the work of Drapolyuk (1980), T. roseipennis is closely allied to T. soongorica. The analyses of Konstantinov and Vinokurov (2011) recognized that they could be separated by the structure of male genitalia. T. soongorica has two keels at the base of the sclerotized part of the phallotheca and a narrower, more strongly sinuate large blade of the endosoma. The phallotheca of T. roseipennis is devoid of any keels, while the large blade of the endosoma in ventral view is wider and slightly sinuate.
Male genitalia (Figs. 62–65): Endosoma slender, more or less L-shaped, with two apical sclerotized spines, one apical spine with developed membranous blade, secondary gonopore situated near the bases of apical spines; left paramere large, boat-shaped; right paramere large, lanceolate; phallotheca as in Fig. 65.
Host plants. Unknown.

Brailovsky (2009) added the second species M. nigrolineatus from Colombia, Suriname, and Venezuela, and added new distributional records to M. banausus (Bolivia and Peru). Blöte (1938) described and illustrated Placophyllopus with one new species, cothurnatus from Peru (Pachitea).
During the revision of the generic status of Acanthocephalini, the type specimens of M. banausus (DEIC) and P. cothurnatus (RMNH) were examined and compared, and not founded any significant differences in color or morphology. So, I am placing P. cothurnatus as a subjective junior synonym of M. banausus.

description: Nitidulinae: tribes and generic complexes
As indicated above, this subfamily is considered by this author to comprise all genera included by Kirejtshuk (2008: 110–112) except for those groups mentioned in the Introduction. It is a large and diverse group containing well over 100 genera and much work remains to be done before we are close to understanding their phylogenetic relationships. The nitiduline tribes recognised by Kirejtshuk include Nitidulini, Cychramini, Cychramptodini, Cyllodini, Lawrencerosini, Mystropini, and Nitidulini, while the last tribe is divided into several rather poorly defined generic complexes. Excluding those groups transferred to the Prometopiinae, the nitiduline complexes include the following: Nitidula complex (two genera), Soronia complex (12 genera), Ipidia complex (five genera), Phenolia complex (nine genera), Perilopsis complex (four genera), Aethina complex (seven genera) and Pocadius complex Erichson (25 genera). The last group apparently includes genera formerly included in the Thalycra complex by Kirejtshuk & Leschen (1998), with the addition of Bolivitoxus Kirejtshuk (2009). Some of these complexes may be monophyletic, but, in general, they appear to be at most convenient groups of morphologically similar adults.
The tribes recognized by Kirejtshuk (2008) are perhaps more easily defined, but the monophyly of some of them certainly requires further testing. The Mystropini appears to be a very distinct group, the constitution of which was clarified by Kirejtshuk & Jelínek (2000). This New World group associated with palm inflorescences is characterised by a unique suite of characters, including the absence of antennal grooves. The two tribes Cychramptodini and Lawrencerosini each appear to be monophyletic, but the relationships of either tribe to other nitidulines are not at all obvious. This is due in large part to the fact that cychramptodines have a suite of morphological features protecting them from ants associated with their host scales, while lawrencerosines are probably all symphiles in ant nests with a different suite of protective adaptations. Both tribes are Australian and have been revised by Kirejtshuk (1990) and Kirejtshuk & Lawrence (1992a). Australian taxa in the remaining tribes are discussed below.

The genera Aethinodes Blackburn, 1891, Lasiodites Jelínek, 1999, and Plesiothina Kirejtshuk, 1990b, were all considered as subgenera of the New World genus Phenolia Erichson, 1843, by Kirejtshuk & Kvamme (2002). This action was recently criticised by Lawrence (2018), who treated each of these as a full genus.

Austronitidula

description: Austronitidula, gen. nov.
Type species: Austronitidula multimaculata, sp. nov.
Diagnosis. This monotypic genus appears to be most closely related to the Australian genus Thalycrodes, sharing with that genus the following features: 1) antennal club somewhat flattened with well developed apicolateral sensory areas on antennomeres 9 and 10; 2) male with a small pubescent fovea at middle of prosternum; 3) lateral edges of pronotum and elytra more or less ciliate; 4) prosternal process broad, curved and slightly expanded apically, without vertical wall; 5) outer apical angles of all tibiae produced with more than one stout spine extending onto apex; 6) mesoventrite on the same plane as metaventrite with anterior prothoracic rest and weak median carina; 7) eyes small, with temples at least as long as eye diameter; 8) interfacetal setae present; 9) protibial ridge absent in male; and 10) apex of labrum with relatively broad angulate emargination. Austronitidula multimaculata differs from species of Thalycrodes in the following respects: 1) antennomere 9 not longer than 2 and 3 combined; 2) sensory areas on antennomeres 9 and 10 not located in enclosed pockets; 3) elytral punctures and setae more or less confused, not seriate; 4) frontoclypeal suture absent; 5) axillary spaces reduced; 6) elytral epipleura barely inclined and not or barely visible in lateral view.

Lasiodites

description: Lasiodites Jelínek
The genus Lasiodites was proposed by Jelínek (1999) based on the type species Nitidula picta Macleay and including 38 Old World species, most of which were formerly placed in Lasiodactylus Perty, 1830, and Lordites Erichson, 1843. Kirejtshuk & Kvamme (2002) considered the group to be a subgenus of Phenolia (see above) and revised the 27 species occurring in Africa, Madagascar and surrounding islands. In addition, there are 15 species of Lasiodites occurring from Japan to Southeast Asia, Malaysia, India, Pakistan and Indonesia, while the type species occurs throughout this range, as well as in Madagascar, Réunion, Nossi-Bé, the Seychelles and Christmas Island. This author has seen no species of this genus from mainland Australia, but Lasiodites pictus (Macleay) occurs on Christmas Island, Indian Ocean, and a highly modified species occurs on Mt. Gower and Mt. Lidgbird, Lord Howe Island, NSW.

Jelínek (1965) clarified the limits of the genus Stelidota and later (Jelínek 1984) revised the species occurring in Asia, Australia and the Pacific area. In this study Stelidota nigrovaria (Fairmaire, 1849), originally described from Tahiti as a species of Omosita Erichson, was considered to be a widely distributed and variable species occurring in India, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Australia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. Stelidota orientalis Arrow, 1900 from Christmas Island, Indian Ocean was also synonymised with the Fairmaire species. Specimens from continental Australia examined by Jelínek were from two localities in NSW.
Aethinodes variabile Lea, 1921, was described based on specimens from Mt. Tamborine and the Cairns district, QLD and Ourimbah and National Park (Royal National Park), NSW. Examination of a Lea cotype (C/2276) from Cairns in the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, confirmed that this species belongs to the genus Stelidota and appears to be conspecific with the widespread Stelidota nigrovaria. This species is extremely common throughout Australia and may be particularly abundant in forest litter samples.

description: Synechodes Turner, 1913
Type species: Synechodes coniophora Turner, 1913.
This genus is known from India throughout south and southeastern Asia to Papua New Guinea and northeastern Australia. The type species, Synechodes coniophora, occurs in the tropical rainforests of northeastern Queensland (Australia). It differs from most species in the genus by its distinct sexual dimorphism: males are almost entirely black, whereas females have bright orange-yellow markings. This dimorphism led to the description of the female as S. heppneri Kallies, 1998, which is a junior synonym of S. coniophora (syn. nov.). Similar sexual dimorphism also is present in Synechodes diabolus (Felder & Rogenhofer, 1875) from the Moluccas.
Of the 16 described species included in the genus (Kallies 1998, Kallies 2004), the biology is known for only four, all of which feed in the petiole or inflorescence of various palm species (Arecaceae), including Calamus spp. Two species, S. olivora Kallies 1998 and S. papuana Heppner 1990, are considered serious pests of oil palm (Elaeis guineensi s) and coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), respectively (Kallies 1998, Kallies 2004, Kakul et al. 2006). Adults are typically active during the day, although occasionally they are attracted to light (Rentz pers. comm.; Kakul et al. 2006).

Material. 13 [India] “Andamans. Jan. 1904. G. Rogers. 1903-349.” (BMNH).
This species was described from a single female from the Andaman Islands (Kallies 2004). Recently, a male (Fig. 3) was found in the unsorted material of the BMNH. It bears the same label data as the holotype, and it can be assumed that both were collected together. The male differs from the female by its reduced yellow markings on the fore- and hindwings, i.e. the yellow discal spot of the forewings is narrow and small (round and large in the female), the yellow spot near the posterior margin of the forewing is missing (present in the female), and the yellow subbasal area of the hindwing is smaller and divided by a black streak (large and undivided in the female). The antennae are serrate and short-ciliate. Unfortunately, the abdomen of this specimen is missing; thus, the male genitalia remain unknown.

Etymology. This species is named after the pre-melanesian tribe of native people of New Ireland, the Panaras.
Description (holotype, female, Fig. 6). Alar expanse 22.5 mm, body 11.0 mm. Head: [missing in type specimen]. Thorax: shiny blackish brown throughout. Abdomen: dark fuscous to brownish black; sternites with relatively broad, tergites with narrow dirty pale yellow posterior margins, last segment uniform. Forewing: dark brown, scattered with individual pale yellow scales, with a patch of yellow scales at about 2/3 just below midline and patch of yellow near base of posterior margin; ventral side similar, with small subbasal yellow patch and yellow streak in distal part of cell, the latter connected to yellow patch extending from cell to posterior margin. Hindwing: black, with large yellow area in centre and smaller yellow patch closer to anal margin; fringe yellow, except from apex and anal margin; ventral side similar but yellow more extensive.
Genitalia. Female (AK703 / BMNH32392, Fig. 15). As described for genus. Ovipositor short and wide, triangular pouch relatively large, corpus bursae small and simple, ostium and antrum wide and well sclerotized.
Diagnosis. This species is similar to Saccocera miangkabau sp. nov. and Saccocera sauteri (Kallies 2004). From S. sauteri it can be distinguished by its larger size, the more extensive yellow markings on the hindwing, and the details of the ostium (protruding in S. sauteri). From S. miangkabau sp. nov. it can be distinguished by its smaller size, the less extensive yellow markings on the hindwing, and the details of the female genitalia morphology, in particular the base of apophyses.
