Aulacus pterostigmatus: Smith 2001: 274 .</p><p>Holotype: Missing. Type locality: Sattelberg, [Papua] New Guinea, collector Biró (Szépligeti 1903).</p><p>Remarks. Szépligeti (1903) did not designate a holotype. Presumably he had a single female specimen, although this is not stated. Most of Szépligeti's material was deposited in the Hungarian National Insect Collection, but no specimens of A. pterostigmatus have been located (Csõsz pers. comm.).</p><p>= A. pterostigmatus; Π = A. sedlaceki; = A. wau; = P. kiunga; = P. laloki .</p><p>Although somewhat brief, we can use Szépligeti's description to compare this species with the three new taxa described herein. Firstly, Szépligeti indicates that the "Hinterleib fast spidelförmig", i.e., 'abdomen' (metasoma), literally spindle shaped. Both A. enaratodi and A. sedlaceki have a metasoma that is, presumably, similar to that in A. pterostigmatus, but A. wau has, when viewed laterally, a more or less ovate, laterally compressed metasoma. Secondly, Szépligeti indicates that the wings of A. pterostigmatus are hyaline but does not mention any fuscous spot on the fore wing, although one might infer from the name that it has such a spot. The fore wing of A. sedlaceki has such a distinct fuscous spot but it is lacking in both A. enaratodi and A. wau . Thirdly, Szépligeti indicates that the ovipositor is longer than the body, as is the case in A. enaratodi and A. wau, but it is shorter in A. sedlaceki . Fourthly, Szépligeti’s description indicates that A. pterostigmatus is largely black with the base of the antennae brown-red. The colour of A. enaratodi closely matches this description, but the antennae are brown rather than reddish brown at the base. Finally, A. pterostigmatus is 6.0 mm long and intermediate in length between A. sedlaceki, 3.6 (3.2–4.0) mm, and both A. wau (8.0 mm) and A. enaratodi (8.8 mm). Given these differences, we conclude that A. pterostigmatus is different from the three new species from New Guinea. We have included it in the key as best we can to enable possible recognition as more material becomes available in the future.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F469730B774DFFE7FEB6F91E0FD1FDC7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In A. sedlaceki, the hind coxa has a flattened inner surface and has a slight extension on the inner disto-ventral surface, extending posteriorly for a distance about equal to one-quarter the length of the trochanter (Fig. 9). The ovipositor guide is an elongate and posteriorly-pointing depression extending to the tip of the hind coxal extension, and with a margin fringed with stout setae (Fig. 9).

Similar to female except mesoscutum in lateral view somewhat angular, propodeum areolate, T3–T8 not shortened and clearly visible when viewed dorsally.</p><p>Remarks. This species has an ovipositor guide (Fig. 9) resembling that of A. emineo Jennings, Austin, &amp; Stevens from New Caledonia (Jennings et al. 2004c), although in A. emineo the hind coxal extension on the inner disto-ventral surface is much more pronounced than in A. sedlaceki . Similar longitudinal ovipositor guides also occur in females of the Nearctic A. burquei (Provancher), A. digitalis Townes, A. lovei (Ashmead), and A. pallipes Cresson, and the type species for the genus, A. striatus Jurine, from the Palaearctic (Smith pers. comm.). However, in most aulacids, including all of the Australian species examined to date (Jennings et al. 2004 a, b; Jennings &amp; Austin unpublished), the ovipositor guide is a groove or notch on the inner surface of the hind coxae that is more or less vertical and either medial or somewhat distal on the hind coxae (see, for example, Figs 6, 11).</p><p>When viewed dorsally, metasomal tergites T3–T8 are short and almost hidden below T1 and T2 (fused) in both A. emineo and A. sedlaceki . In lateral view, the metasoma is somewhat compressed, and more or less ovate. In the male of A. sedlaceki, however, the metasoma is elongate such that tergites T3–T8 are clearly visible. These two species can be readily separated on the differences in the ovipositor guide, as well as differences in colouration. In A. emineo, the body is orange and head black (Jennings et al. 2004c), whereas, the body is dark brown and head pale brown in A. sedlaceki . The form of the ovipositor guide clearly distinguishes it from other New Guinean Aulacus .</p><p>This species is named after the collector, J. Sedlacek, and is known from the Baiyer River and 50 km East of Bogia, Papua New Guinea (Fig. 1). Nothing is known of its host biology.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F469730B7749FFEBFEB6FA1E0D63FBB7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Propleuron smooth, pubescence long laterally, ventro-lateral carina weak; pronotum without angular process (Fig. 17), rugulose-punctate; mesoscutum in lateral view angular antero-dorsally, medial and lateral lobes deeply incised antero-medially, coarsely strigate (Figs 16–17), with scattered short setae, admedial lines present; scutellum and axilla coarsely strigate; metapostnotum scrobiculate, posterior margin almost straight; mesepisternum rugose, with short pubescence; mesepimeron broad, weakly carinate; metapleuron rugose, with short pubescence; propodeum rugose, with several radiating carinae, posterior margin smooth; hind coxa strigate dorsally, pubescence short laterally, hind coxa with a distinct flange-like ovipositor guide almost distal (Fig. 19); hind trochanter imbricate, with scattered short setae; hind prefemur distinct; hind femur imbricate, with very short setae; hind tibia imbricate, pubescence short, with scattered stout emergent setae; hind femur 0.8 x length hind tibia; hind tibia with ventro-apical pecten of short robust spines; hind tarsal segments 1–4 with ventro-apical pecten of very short robust spines, segment 1, 3.85 (3.6–4.1) x length segment 2; segment 2, 1.3 x length segment 3; segment 3, 2.1 (2.0–2.2) x length segment 4; segment 4, 0.5 x length segment 5; hind tarsal claw with 4 median teeth, 0.6 x length segment 5; fore wing vein 2-Rs+M very short, second discal cell more or less quadrate, vein 2r-m absent and 3r-m spectral in posterior two-thirds, hind wing venation complete, M+Cu, Cu, r-m and 2-M spectral, 2-M pale brown for most of its length, with 2 hamuli.</p><p>Metasoma. 1.15 (1.1–1.2) x length of mesosoma; T1 and T2 narrow when viewed dorsally, glabrous; ovipositor 8.25 (8.0–8.5) mm.</p><p>MALE. Similar to female except length 8.0 mm; flagellomeres entirely brown; metasoma dark brown dorsally except for yellow patches on T3 and T4, and yellow laterally and ventrally; propleuron punctate dorsally, smooth laterally, pubescence long, hind tarsal claw equal in length to segment 5; fore wing vein 3r-m complete, spectral in posterior half; metasoma 1.47 x length of mesosoma; basiparameres broad, imbricate, long pubescence (Fig. 20); digitus broad, about same length as basiparameres (Fig. 20).</p><p>Remarks. Both sexes of A. laloki lack the angular process on the pronotum (Fig. 18) which is present in A. kiunga (Fig. 13) and is also present in a number of northern Hemisphere species (see, for example, Konishi 1990; Turrisi 2005), but is generally absent in Australian species (Jennings &amp; Austin unpublished). Both sexes also have a broad cream-coloured stripe along the inner margin of the eye on the malar space, face and frons which is lacking in A. kiunga .</p><p>This species named after the type locality, Laloki in the Central District of Papua New Guinea (Fig. 1). Nothing is known of its host biology.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F469730B7743FFEDFEB6FD7C0F7AFD0F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
