Description
Description. Adult (Figs 75–81). Colour: Male: general colour ochraceous to orange-brown with brown to black markings. Vertex with a pair of diffuse broad brown markings; genal processes dark brown to black; antennal segments 1–2 dark brown to black; segment 3 brown, darker apically; segments 4–10 dark brown to black; pronotum pale with a pair of broad dark brown submedial markings; mesopraescutum with a pair of broad, suffuse, submedial dark brown markings; mesoscutum with two pairs of brown longitudinal submedial stripes, lateral-most thinner and paler; mesoscutellum orange; wings clear; wing vein R+M+Cu pale; legs with dorsal dark brown markings; fore and mid-tarsi dark brown to black, hind basitarsi ochraceous, distal segment of hind tarsi dark brown to black; abdominal tergites brown to dark brown; anterior face of proctiger brown; subgenital plate pale with brown infuscation medially and basally; parameres pale with black apices; proximal segment of aedeagus dark brown to black, distal segment ochraceous. Female: As for male, except generally slightly paler; markings on vertex brown, genal processes ochraceous to brown, pronotum, mesopraescutum and mesoscutum pale brown to brown; proctiger with brown infuscation medio-dorsally and apex dark brown; subgenital plate with brown infuscation and brown apex. Structure: measurements and ratios as in Tables 1–5. Antennae short, 1.32–1.48 times width of head; genal processes elongate, conical, separated at base and becoming increasingly divergent; anterior margin of vertex rounded from dorsal aspect, delineated from genal processes by prominent ridge; vertex with prominent medial suture; pronotum with prominent anterior, medial node; thorax weakly arched, head distinctly wider than pronotum and mesoscutum; fore wings elongate with broadly rounded apex; Rs long, mostly straight except distally, terminating short of wing apex; vein M distinctly sinuate; vein M 1 + 2 terminating well short of wing apex; cell m 1 short, broadly triangular, m 1 cell value 0.87–1.14; cell cu 1 short triangular, cu 1 cell value 1.39–2.19; radular areas thin, elongate in cells m 1, m 2 and cu 1; male terminalia as in Figs 97–98; proctiger without lateral expansions; parameres thin elongate, strongly curved inward towards apex. Female terminalia as in Fig. 99; proctiger short with dorso-posterior margin smoothly rounded from lateral aspect and a barely upturned blunt apical process; subgenital plate broad, triangular from lateral aspect. Nymph (Figs 82–83): Measurements and ratios as in Tables 6–7. Body light-brown with dark brown markings. Eyes reddish brown; head with submedial brown spots; meso-and metathoracic depressions dark brown to black with irregular dark brown markings anteriorly and posteriorly; caudal plate with dark brown infuscation submedially and delineating margins of abdominal tergites. Body elongate; anterior margin of head weakly pointed medially; dorsum of body with a distinct medial longitudinal ridge; caudal plate with hind margin narrowly rounded.
Etymology
Etymology. Named after the host plant, Allocasuarina campestris.
Distribution
Distribution. Recorded from inland Western Australia from Kalbarri and Geraldton and throughout the inland “wheat-belt” region east to Wialki and Mukinbudin, and south to Kondinin in south-western Western Australia (Fig. 138). Host plant. Recorded from Allocasuarina campestris (Diels) L.Johnson.Allocasuarina campestris occurs as a dense, erect, 1–3 m shrub on sand-plain and lateritic soils, widespread in the wheat-belt of Western Australia from N of the Murchison River to S of Ravensthorpe and E of Esperance (Wilson & Johnson 1989).
