Prototympanogaster View in CoL , new genus
Type species: Prototympanogaster lordhowensis , new species.
With characteristics as described for the type species. The neW genus appears most closely related to Tympanogaster Perkins, 1979 . Tympanogaster currently has four subgenera and 84 species, mostly found in the relict eastern rainforests of Australia ( Perkins, 2006). The neW genus is named in reference to the putative
plesiomorphic condition of the metaventrite, Which is totally hydrofuge pubescent ( Fig. 1), Whereas members of Tympanogaster have a large, non-pubescent tabella ( Figs. 2, 4 View FIGURES 2–5 , 6 View FIGURES 6–9 ).
