| Australia has some
delightful tropiduchids, Tambinia venusta and Kallitambinia australis being
typical. Fletcher (1981) described the morphology of K.
australis and Fletcher (1979a) gave details of
the life history of the same species. The tribe Trypetimorphini is represented in
Australia by two species of Trypetimorpha. Gnezdilov (2007) transfered the Gaetuliini from Nogodinidae to
Tropiduchidae which brought most of the lacy winged forms into the one family. Included in
the Gaetuliini are two species of Alleloplasis which have the tegmina elongate
and extremely narrow, although still with clear cells between the veins. Most tropiduchids
are forest dwelling species although Kallitambina australis Muir is associated
with mangroves and Alleloplasis spp are found in arid areas of western and
southern Australia. [update: 5.viii.2007] The Indonesian tropiduchid fauna consists primarily of Tribe Tropiduchini. [update: 2.iv.2003] |
