Julverninthus n. gen. (Figures 5–8, 9A, 10A–F, 11–13, 18) Type species. Julverninthus rentzi , here designated. Etymology. Genus named after Lebinthus and the prefix “Julvern” corresponding to the contraction of Jules Verne (1828–1905). This famous French author wrote many adventure novels, among which “Around the world in eighty days”. Given that Eneopterinae have travelled around the world after originating from Australia-Antarctica ca. 80 Ma (Vicente et al. 2017), it is an appropriate name for the first endemic genus “coming back” to Australia. Masculine gender. Distribution. Australia, Northern Queensland. Diagnosis. Among the brachypterous Lebinthini genera, Julverninthus is characterized by its setose, trapezoidal fastigium, almost as long as wide, forming a wide rostrum. Eyes smaller and less prominent than in Lebinthus and Macrobinthus , but larger than in Centuriarus and Agnotecous . The genus mostly resembles Macrobinthus in size and general shape, but differs by its very short wings resembling that of Microbinthus in both sexes. Male. FWs very short, dorsal field longer than lateral field (almost of similar size in Lebinthus and Macrobinthus ). Harp forming an equilateral triangle, with one main bisinuated oblique vein; posterior edge of harp almost flat along diagonal vein. 1A vein slightly bisinuate anterior to angle, as in Ligypterus, Gnominthus and Cardiodactylus , differing from most brachypterous genera. Mirror little differentiated, cell d1 rectangular. Cell c1 large, trapezoidal, with variable accessory veins. Chord veins delimiting a narrow, semi-circular cell. Apical field very short, including only a small area posterior to mirror with reticulated veins and no cell alignment. Median fold well developed, located on dorsum. Sc vein with 1–2 projections. Male genitalia elongate, characterized by absence of individualized apical lophi, with a long median process, as in Pixibinthus and Macrobinthus wilhelmsis Robillard & Dong, 2016 and some species of Agnotecous . Female. FWs very short, ...
