Description

Oecetis parka Mosely

Figures 37, 38, 112

Oecetis parka Mosely in Mosely and Kimmins, 1953: 290, fig. 205.

Material examined. Holotype. Male, NSW, National Park [?the Royal National Park] (BMNH).

15 samples in ANIC and NMV.

Diagnosis. Wings spotted; forewing length about 4 times maximum width, footstalk present, veins of posterior anastomosis clearly stepped with t2 more distal than t1 and t3. In male genitalia (Figs 37, 38) an unusual dorsal digitiform process arises at the base of the inferior appendages, which are about 4 times as long as wide, and almost rod-shaped and straight in distal three-quarters of length.

Distribution. Eastern Vic., east-central NSW and north-eastern Qld (Fig. 112).

Remarks. The dorsal process at the base of the inferior appendages is unique among Australian Oecetis, but closely resembles similar structures seen in some Setodes species described by Schmid (1987), for example S. apitayati and S. uttamavarna. This species is never common in collections.
