Polyplectropus lochensis sp. nov. is distinguished from other Australian Polyplectropus species by the presence of a row of small peg-like spines meso-posteriorly on each inferior appendage and by the presence of fork 1 in the hind wings. This latter character state also occurs in some Polyplectropus species from New Caledonia (see Polyplectropus nathalae Johanson &amp; Ward, 2009, fig. 35). Polyplectropus lochensis sp. nov. is placed in Polyplectropus because of the similar wing venation to P. nathalae but differs markedly from the New Caledonian species in the shape and structures of the male genitalia.</p><p>Description. Adult male. Spur formula: 3:4:4. Wings (Fig. 2) similar to those of P. nathalae and P. anakope sp. nov. (Fig. 1), except fork 1 in hind wings present. Length of each forewing 4.2 mm. Head, body, and wings light brown. Male genitalia. Posterior margin of sternum IX with angular extension near mid-height in lateral view, forming a right angle (Figs 18, 21). Fused terga IX+X short, membranous (Figs 20, 23). Intermediate appendages small, slightly laterally compressed (Figs 18, 20); in lateral view, irregularly subovate, approximately 1.8 times as long as maximum width, with rounded apex (Fig. 18, 21). Inferior appendages laterally compressed in basal half and dorsoventrally compressed in posterior half, angled mesally near middle, with small peg-like spines posteriorly (Figs 18, 19, 21, 22); in lateral view, broadest in basal half, tapered strongly near mid length (Figs 18, 21); in ventral view, each appendage with mesal and distal margins curved or angled slightly near midlength, inflexed in posterior third, apices appear rounded (Figs 19, 22). Phallus tubelike, tapered, and slightly downturned posteriorly (Figs 18, 20, 21, 23). Female. Unknown.</p><p>Etymology. Named for the type locality, Loch River in Victoria.</p><p>Distribution. Known from two sites only in southern-central Victoria (latitudinal range 37.8– 38.9°S).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/794E87863171E258E78AA493D932DA31	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Polyplectropus bamboosa appears to be most similar to P. chapmani Kumanski from New Guinea but differs in that the inferior appendages in ventral view appear more truncate posteriorly with an acute angle distomesally (Fig. 16). Female. Unknown.</p><p>Distribution. Polyplectropus bamboosa was originally described from the holotype male collected from Litchfield N.P, in the NT (Cartwright &amp; Dostine 2022). The species is also widely distributed on Cape York Peninsula, N Queensland (latitudinal range 11.3– 15.5°S)</p><p>Remarks. The wing length of some North Queensland specimens is slightly more (4.9 mm) than the NT type specimen (4.2 mm).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/794E87863173E254E78AA07CDD74DE41	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Most of the Asian and New Zealand Polyplectropus larvae have anal claws lacking basal processes which is quite different to North (and South) American and (putative) Australian species which have three basal processes (Wiggins 1977: 355, fig. A; Chamorro &amp; Holzenthal 2010, fig. 1; Cartwright 1998, fig. 3.29).</p><p>For Australia, at least partial keys to larvae of polycentropodid genera are given by Cartwright &amp; Dean (1982) and Dean et al. (2004), and keys to voucher species, together with basic diagrams, are provided by Cartwright (1998). All these references mention ‘Genus I’ larvae, a group comprising larvae of Adectophylax, possibly Plectrocnemia (Tasmanoplegus) (larva unknown), probably Polyplectropus, and maybe other ‘genera’. At present, no Australian Polyplectropus larva has been associated positively with an adult male either through breeding out or COI/DNA association. Larvae from NT and Qld, figured in part by Cartwright (1998; figs 3.28, 3.29) are possibly those of Polyplectropus .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/794E8786317DE254E78AA493DD4BDCC9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
