Abstract

A new genus and one new species of Ectrichodiinae are described from Australia. Austrokatanga monteithi, n.gen., n.sp., is distinct from other Ectrichodiinae by a combination of characters including the cylindrical shape of the head, aptery in both sexes, armature of legs, and armature of abdominal sternites in the male. The species is highly polymorphic and shows considerable sexual dimorphism. Digital macrophotographs, scanning electron micrographs, illustrations, and a distribution map are provided.
