Type species: Waidelotus hoffeinsorum sp. nov., by present designation
Etymology. The name of the new genus is a latinized word (stem “waidelot” + Latin suffix “-us”) derived from Waidelotte (or Weideler, Waidalis), meaning “priest of medium-level in ancient pagan Prussian religion”. The gender is masculine.
Remarks. The new genus is monotypic, represented by the type species only. Therefore the generic description considerably overlaps that of the species.

Ciulfina Giglio-Tos, 1915: 64
Type species Nanomantis biseriata Westwood 1889, by original designation.
The external morphology is highly conserved in this genus, and as per the original description of Ciulfina by Giglio-Tos (1915) there are no diagnostic external morphological characters useful for species discrimination. The original distinction of C. biseriata and C. liturgusa is based on colour and size, both highly variable and therefore dubious characters in delineating species of Ciulfina (see above). Ciulfina spp. are slender and long-legged. Adult body length (mm) ranging between 23-30 (males) and 28-38 (females). Body markings are generally brown with mottled lighter patches in multiple patterns. This variation often reflects the color of the tree trunks that individuals inhabit. For the most recent detailed description of the genus, please refer to Ehrmann (2002). The dorsal habitus of both male and female Ciulfina is depicted in Fig. 2 (in this case, C. ianrichardi n. sp.)

Ciulfina annecharlotteae

description: Ciulfina annecharlotteae Holwell sp. nov.
Type material. AUSTRALIA: Holotype and four paratypes (all males); Gregory National Park, Northern Territory, 15°36’S, 131°06’E, 18.ix.2007 (G. Holwell, J. O’Hanlon, D. Rao and A. Harmer).
Diagnosis. The distinguishing male genital feature of C. annecharlotteae is the pair of widely spaced but parallel sclerotized teeth at the apex of the processo distale (pda). Also useful for diagnoses are the greatly reduced nature of the apofisi falloide (afa) and the strongly curved processo apicale (paa), which does not extend beyond the pubescent membrane of left sclerite L4B. All examined material exhibited dextral genital orientation.
Description of genitalia
Right phallomere: general shape typical of genus; first sclerite (R1) thumb-shaped, deeply pouched, oriented posteriorly and attached to ventral phallomere by long arm of uniform width with slightly flanged apex; apex of fallomero dorsale di destra (fda) rounded, medial edge sclerotized, possessing short peg-like projections; ventral wall of R1 bears sharply tapering sclerotized groove formed between the piastra ventrale (pia) and processo ventral sclerificata (pva), which is gently curved, long and slender and apically rounded; third sclerite (R3) typically spoon-shaped.
Left complex: general shape typical of genus; apofisi falloide (afa) greatly reduced but sclerotized forming only a slight ridge; processo apicale (paa) slender and sinuate, gradually tapering apically, apex well developed and strongly curved, slightly bulbous and moderately sclerotized, process projects away from right phallomere parallel to base of left sclerite L4A, but not beyond pubescent membrane of left sclerite L4B; edge of pubescent membrane of L4B highly arched, and rounded without distinct tip; left sclerite L4B moderately sclerotized distally with square projection between pubescent membrane and base of paa; ventral plate of left sclerite L4A typical; processo distale (pda) bearing two well-developed sclerotized teeth; one shorter posterior tooth and one longer anterior tooth, both pointing anteriorly.
Etymology. Named after Anne Charlotte Gaskett, the author‘s wife, for her contributions to our understanding of the biology and natural history of Australia’s biota.

Type material. AUSTRALIA: Holotype and four paratypes (all males): Keep River National Park, Northern Territory 15°50’S 129°06’E, 16.ix.2007 (G. Holwell, J. O’Hanlon, D. Rao & A. Harmer).
Diagnosis. The distinguishing male genital features of C. herbersteinae is the secondary process arising from the anterior apex of the processo distale (pda), possessing a cluster of sclerotized teeth. Also useful for diagnosis are the sharp and narrow apofisi falloide (afa) and rather blunt apex to the fallomero dorsale di destra. All type material exhibited dextral genital orientation.

Type locality. Namibia [“King-Bushmannld.”], Lübbert S.V.—female holotype (ZMHB)
Diagnostic description (female, male unknown). General characteristics as for the genus. Squamipterous, tegmina shorter than pronotum, not overlapping, approximately circular in shape (Figs. 3 C–D); hind wing vestigial but still present. Fore and mid femora with 5–6 anterior ventral margin only; hind femur with 5–7 teeth on both ventral margins. Subgenital plate with widely angular incision (Fig. 3 G); ratio ovipositor/hind femur 0.57–0.60
Measurements (2 females). Body: 22–23; pronotum: 3.5–4; tegmen: 2; hind femur: 20–21; ovipositor: 12 mm.
Material examined (2 specimens). Namibia: Kung Buschmannland—coll. S.V. Lubbert— 1 female (holotype) (ZMHB); Windhoek Distr., Windhoek, 2217 Ca, (22°30'S, 17°0'0''E), 1–30.iv.1976 — 1 female (NMNW).
Remarks. Only two female specimens of this species are known, but it is likely that the males of G. pedestris possess shortened tegmina with fully developed stridulatory organs. Nothing is known about the biology of this species but, based on the collecting localities of the specimens examined, it is certainly associated with xeric, sparsely vegetated habitats.

Types. Holotype worker from Manokwari, Gn. Meja, c. 300m, Irian Jaya, Indonesia, A. Riedel, 22-23 Sept. 1990 (ANIC, ANIC 32-023665).
Diagnosis. Anterolateral corners of head, near mandibular insertions, rounded. Dorsal mesosomal sculpturing composed of widely spaced foveae which are only slightly more dense on the pronotum than on the mesonotum and propodeum, and which are uniformly distributed across the width of the propodeum. Body small, head less than 0.48mm, petiole narrow, PetW less than 0.20.
Description. Anterolateral corners of head, near mandibular insertions, rounded and lacking a tooth. Dorsal pronotal sculpturing consisting of widely spaced foveae which are only slightly more dense than on the mesonotum and propodeum. Foveae on dorsum of propodeum uniformly distributed across its width. Lateral mesosomal sculpturing consisting of small foveae on pronotum and anterior and ventral region of mesopleuron, dorsal region of mesopleuron and majority of propodeum smooth. Very small fenestra present within subpetiolar process. Colour yellow.
Measurements. (holotype) CI 78; HL 0.46; HW 0.36; ML 0.54; PetL 0.15; PetW 0.19; PI 127; SI 67; SL 0.25; T 1W 0.30.
Comments. This species is morphologically intermediate between P. kraepelini and P. opaca. The colour is pale yellow as in some kraepelini while the sculpturing is similar to opaca (large, widely spaced punctations). However, this combination of characters, as well as the shape of the petiole (Fig. 6), is unique and suggests that this is a distinct species separate from others in the genus. This species is currently only known from the holotype.

ZooBank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 830D604F-7863-4259-A898-C2DD1E1FCAFC
TYPE SPECIES: Caenaugochlora (Caenaugochlora) bennetti Gonçalves & Engel, 2010.
DIAGNOSIS: Compound eyes setose (usually setose in Caenaugochlora s.str., only minute setae present in Ctenaugochlora); preoccipital ridge carinate (sharply angled in Caenaugochlora s.str. except C. macswaini Michener and C. elpidia Engel; carinate in Ctenaugochlora); female metabasitibial plate with strong anterior and posterior borders (as in Caenaugochlora s.str., anterior border obsolescent in Ctenaugochlora); female inner metatibial spur pectinate, with less than 10 long branches (as in Caenaugochlora s.str., densely pectinate with more than 10 long branches in Ctenaugochlora); striae of basal area of propodeum not reaching apical margin (as in Caenaugochlora s.str., striae reach the apical margin in Ctenaugochlora); male metasomal sternum IV with long, lateral, postgradular projections bearing elongate setae at their apices (such projections absent in Caenaugochlora s.str. and Ctenaugochlora); male genitalia with parapenial lobe broad (narrow elsewhere in genus).
ETYMOLOGY: The subgeneric name is a combination of the Greek meta, meaning, “between” or “among” and implying change, and Augochlora, type genus of the tribe. The gender of the name is feminine.
INCLUDED SPECIES: Caenaugochlora (Metaugochlora) bennetti Gonçalves & Engel and C. (M.) quichua Gonçalves & Engel, both from the Andes of Ecuador.
COMMENTS: Although the author previously hesitated to remove these species from Caenaugochlora s.str. (Gonçalves & Engel, 2010), it no longer seems as though such an overly conservative decision was well founded. A new key to the subgenera of Caenaugochlora is here provided.

Ground colour of forewing varies from ochreous-greenish to brown or brown-grey; wing pattern with main noctuid elements. In male genitalia uncus moderately long, rather strong, medially often broader; tegument usually shorter than vinculum; valva usually elongate, in some groups relatively short dilated distally, with apex rounded or pointed; sacculus moderate in size, rounded; harpe elongate-triangular, moderate in length, in some groups reduced; transtilla broad, heavily sclerotised; juxta plate-like, diamond-shape. Aedeagus short and stout; vesica relatively short, globular or lobate, in some groups tubular and curved; cornutus in most cases strong, spine-like, in some cases reduced. In female genitalia ovipositor elongate, or short and broad; papillae anales elongate-pointed or quadrangular; posterior apophyses longer or equal to anterior ones, relatively short; antrum short, ductus bursae usually short, tubular, membranous, in proximal part with sclerites; corpus bursae membranous, ovoid or saccate, sometimes with sclerotised patch close to ductus bursae. The genus is divided into the subgenera Victrix (s. str.), Chytobrya, Polyobria, Rasihia, and Micromima. The genus Victrix has the Palaearctic distribution, containing 42 species, with centre of diversity in Central Asian and partially in Mediterranean subregions. Fifteen species (including new ones) are known from China. The European and partially Asian faunas of Victrix were revised by Varga & Ronkay (1989, 1991) and Fibiger et al. (2009). The new species of Victrix from China has recently been described by Han et al. (2011).
