Diagnosis
Diagnosis. Lower frons and face protruding anteriorly; wing costal margin orange infuscate; scutum bright orange with black, medial stripe; abdomen orange with dark stripe on sternites; male genitalia with epandrium much shorter along midline than width; aedeagus and gonocoxal apodemes elongate; ejaculatory apodemes not enlarged; distiphallus broadly recurved and thickened distally, hypandrium narrow, band-like.
Description
Description. Male. Body length: 8.0–9.0 mm. Head. Frons slightly narrower than ocellar tubercle at narrowest point; antennal base positioned low on frons (Fig. 7 A); upper frons flat, lower frons and face protruding anteroventrally; frons and face smooth, glossy black; erect, pale setae sparsely distributed on lower frons; grey pubescence on upper frons below ocellar tubercle; narrow strip of silver velutum laterally on frons along margin of eye, two patches on face beside and below antennal base; ocellar tubercle slightly raised, black with sparse, grey pubescence admixed with erect pale and dark setae posteriorly; occiput concave, black, overlain with grey pubescence; single row of relatively short, black, postocular setae; gena black with long, black setae, silver-white pubescence along margin of eye; palp and labellum brown with scattered, dark setae; antenna brown, length shorter than head; dark setae on scape and pedicel, scape glabrous laterally, flagellum with small patches of short, dark setae basally; flagellum wider and longer than scape and pedicel; scape glossy, pedicel and flagellum overlain with orangebrown pubescence. Thorax. Scutum and scutellum bright orange with black medial stripe; stripe black, overlain with sparse white-grey pubescence, concentrated along lateral margins of stripe; scutum sparsely covered with elongate, erect, pale and dark setae; scutal macrosetae black; dorsal half of pleuron orange, ventral portion and legs glossy black, erect dark setae on proepisternum, anepisternum, katepisternum, katatergite and coxae, thicker patch of strong, dark setae on katatergite; legs with erect, elongate setae on fore and mid-femora; mid femur with 2–3 strong ventral bristles; fore and mid-tibia dark yellow-brown, hind tibia black; tarsi yellow-cream, individual tarsomeres brown distally; wing hyaline, translucent orange-brown infuscate basally along costal margin; venation yellow; haltere yellow-tan; scutal chaetotaxy (pairs): np, 4–6 [rarely 7]; sa, 1; pa, 1; dc, 2–3; sc, 1. Abdomen. Bright orange with conspicuous black stripe ventrally; tergites 1–3 brown medially; scattered erect, pale setae on all segments, longer laterally; ventral setae dark; terminalia dark.
Male genitalia. Epandrium much shorter than wide, deeply emarginate on both posterior and anterior margins, strong dark setae laterally (Fig. 7 B); tergite 8 medially emarginate (Fig. 7 C); gonocoxal process slightly shorter than gonostylus; inner gonocoxal process equal length to gonostylus (Figs 7 D–E); gonostylus with patch of setae basally, projecting dorsally; gonocoxal apodeme ca.2 x length of gonocoxite; ventral lobe small, angular; medial atrium large, pubescence anteriorly along medial margin of gonocoxite; hypandrium reduced; sternite 8 broadly quadrangular (Fig. 7 E); aedeagus elongate, distiphallus with broad ventral curve, compressed laterally, broad apically with minute spines (Figs 7 F–G); lateral ejaculatory apodeme relatively small in size; ejaculatory apodeme narrow, elongate; arms of ventral apodeme of aedeagal sheath relatively narrow and elongate. Female. Body length: 7.0– 9.5 mm. Similar to male except: Frons wider than ocellar tubercle at narrowest point, frons with strip of silver velutum along entire frontal eye margin antennal base orange laterally; setae on thorax, legs and abdomen shorter, often darker than in male. Female genitalia. Spermathecal sac rounded, single lobe, spermathecal sac duct relatively long, without sclerotised band; single membranous, round spermatheca; spermathecal duct joined to spermathecal sac duct proximal to base of spermathecal sac; accessory gland elongate, relatively small.

Discussion
Comments.Bonjeania webbi sp. nov. is most closely related to B. bapsis sp. nov. and has a similar distribution throughout inland central and southern Queensland to central New South Wales.
