Subgenus Whartonstigma Peris-Felipo, 2020

Whartonstigma Peris-Felipo in Peris-Felipo & Belokobylskij, 2020: 412 (as subgenus of Orthostigma).

Type species.

Orthostigma gallowagi Wharton, 2002 , by original designation (Figs 40 View Figure 40 , 41 View Figure 41 ).

Material examined.

Holotype ( Orthostigma (Whartonstigma) gallowagi ): Australia: • ♀, Queensland, Wongabel S. F., 6 km S of Atherton , 12. xi – 1. xii. 1983, Storey and Brown. M. T. ( QMBA) . Paratypes ( Orthostigma (Whartonstigma) gallowagi ): Australia: • 1 ♀, 1 ♂, same data as holotype [No. 111581] ( ANIC) .

Diagnosis.

Very similar to the subgenus Orthostigma sensu stricto but differs from it by the absence of vein 2 - SR of the fore wing.

Remarks.

This recently described subgenus includes four species from Australia and Papua New Guinea ( Peris-Felipo and Belokobylskij 2020).
