Abstract: | AbstractNesomachilis Tillyard and its type-species N. maorica (Tillyard) are redescribed, the latter from a topotypical paratype. N. blumi (Irian Jaya), N. howensis (Lord Howe Island), AT. novaecaledoniae (New Caledonia), N. queenslandica, N. tamborino, and N. watsoni (Australia) are described as new species. Structures diagnostic of the genus are discussed, and a key to species is given. |
