Frons with 3 smaller yellow spots, 1 above and 2 below (Fig.
Ptecticus australis group: Upper
frons, median occipital sclerites and vertex black; wings hyaline with darkened apex; scutum uniformly yellow, sometimes with a metallic shine, rarely black and metallic blue; vein R2+3 nearly twice as long as Rs, parallel to R1 and radial triangle (r2+3) thus virtually replaced by long and narrow, distally opened cell, cross vein M-Cu usually indistinct; M3 straight, parallel to M2 and postcubitus (CuP) unpigmented, hyaline, often indistinct.
Head, thorax and abdomen without wax plates, middle
frons curved.
Mandibles concolorous with
frons. Anterior pronotal margin yellowish brown, remainder yellowish.
Frons slightly oblique; frontal ridge with straight sides along whole length, slightly produced forward between the antennae.
2):
frons with a superficial medial impression; absence of lateral punctures of pronotum (Fig.
The specific epithet is selected because of the resemblance of the scales on the
frons (head) of the moth to Mr.
This species is distinctive with the adults having the
frons with a marked declivity curving around the compound eye margin; an evenly convex
frons lacking longitudinal carinae; the frontal margin polished and arcuate, without "nasale" extension anterad of antennal insertions; and the prosternal process with two strong carinae and sulcus each side.
Setae below and behind strong postocular row pale whitish or yellow and usually weak, except a few stronger setae can be found near the posteroventral corner of the eye; genal dilation and parafacial mostly tan to orange, with vestiture reddish to light brown; polished area larger on abdomen with rear half to one-third of T4, and all of T5 polished; male
frons narrow, less than the width of fifth flagellomere, 0.04 (0.03-0.05) of head width, at narrowest; female
frons 0.25 (0.24-0.28) [36]

irrigatus, mention that the adults can be recognized by the
frons without setae; antenna short, same length in both sexes, about 30 flagellomeres; antennal fossae separated by about width of pedicel; fore femur without clavate setae; ocular rim without setae; fore femoral sense hair as long as fore femur and mid femoral sense hair; mesonotum without blade-like setae; tibial spurs present; pretarsal claws large, longer than one-half length of distal tarsomere; pilula axillaris large; fore wing vein 2A runs in a fairly even curve toward 3A; posterior area of hind wing narrower than presectoral area, CuA bends to hind margin at or before origin of medial fork; anterior banksian line weakly developed; fore wing without dark brown stripe in mediocubital area.
