Discussion. Signiphora rectrix was described from a single female specimen in poor condition mounted under a cover slip fragment in Canada balsam, deposited in the Queensland Museum. The holotype is lacking fore wings and hind wings. It appears to be a member of the flavopalliata group, based on overall habitus and body coloration. However, without fore wings it is impossible to determine if it represents a valid species or is a synonym of another species. Details on the type (examined) are as follows (Dahms 1986): type locality Kuranda, Queensland, Forest. QM holotype HY 2966. The slide also bears a second QM type number, T.4144, which was a duplicate register number for the holotype of this species and has been cancelled (Dahms 1986).
