Treatment

Dentifibula nigroapicalis Kolesik in Kolesik & De Faveri 2014: 100, holotype in South Australian Museum, Adelaide , South Australia.

This is known from a series reared from Aulacaspis australis Brimblecombe View in CoL ( Hemiptera View in CoL : Diaspididae View in CoL ) in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. The hypoproct is slightly concave apically and bears a single seta on each lobe; the gonocoxite has a sensory peg at its narrowed apex; the gonostylus is narrowest at midlength with a prominent apical tooth, and the aedeagus, not counting the apodeme, is barely half the length of the gonocoxites, much the shortest of any species of Dentifibula View in CoL . The female shows the characteristic field of short, ventral setae found also in all Lestodiplosis species.
