Subgenus Boccacciomymar (Boccacciomymar) S. Triapitsyn & Berezovskiy

( Figs 84–97 )

Type species: Palaeoneura turneri Waterhouse.

Diagnosis

Body and appendages mostly brown to dark brown. Vertex smooth. Inner surface of scape with crossridges; female antenna with longitudinal sensilla sometimes present on F2–F6; clava with 8, 9, or 11 longitudinal sensilla. Mesonotum mostly smooth except mesoscutum with fine cellulate sculpture. Mesoscutum at least a little shorter than wide; axillar seta weak; scutellum shorter than mesoscutum and with or without a row of frenal foveae, scutellar sensilla very close to (almost at) anterior margin of scutellum; metanotum entire. Forewing ( Figs 85 , 90 , 92 , 97 ) broad, 2.7–3.0 x as long as wide; venation extending about 3/10 wing length, hypochaeta not extending to posterior margin, marginal vein with two macrochaetae; blade mostly hyaline (except for a conspicuous narrow darkening along anterior margin distal to apex of venation), densely and more or less uniformly setose (except for several small bare areas behind and just beyond venation); longest marginal cilia much shorter than greatest width of blade. Petiole in dorsal view strongly swollen (1.2–1.8 x as long as wide), almost subquadrate (bottle-shaped); petiole ventrally with a narrow medial longitudinal groove; ovipositor short to long, sometimes markedly exserted beyond apex of gaster.

Distribution Australia.
