( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 24 – 45 )

Agapetus ablusus Neboiss, 1986a: 214 View in CoL , figs 7–12.

Material examined: Holotype male: Victoria: Dee River 2 km NW of Millgrove (NMV-T-8178). Paratypes, Victoria: upper Acheron River, 37°38’S 145°42’E, 9.i.1957, 2 males, A. Neboiss, ANIC.

Female: Lacking any distinctive features.

Forewing length: Male 4–5 mm; female 3.8–4.8 mm ( Neboiss 1986b).
