Genus Hackerobrachys Constant 2006b: 32

Type species: Olonia viridiventris Stål, 1863, (by original designation)

Known species: Only the type species is known.

Comments: The type species ranges down the eastern seaboard of Australia from SE Queensland to the Sydney region in NSW. The species, along with those in related genera, appears to be associated primarily if not exclusively with broad-phyllodinous wattles (Acacia spp, family Mimosaceae). Constant (2006b) differentiates the genus from all other Australian eurybrachids by the combination of the following features: Frons strongly convex, twice as broad as long; legs slender, first hind tarsomere with pad of setae ventrally; tegmina flat; hind wings unicolorous, blackish brown; thorax broader than pronotum and mesonotum together.
