Taxonomic Observations on Dinotoperla (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae) from South-Eastern Australia

Revised taxonomic descriptions of seven species of Dinotoperla are given: D. bassae, D. brevipennis, D. eucumbene, D. fontana, D. hirsuta, D. serrieauda. D. thwaitesi. The adults were found to be clearly distinguishable on the basis of genitalia, particularly the configuration of the male epiproct. D. thwaitesi is recognized as a distinct species and is therefore resurrected from synonymy with D. serricauda. The females of D. fontana and D. hirsuta and the male of D. eucumbene are described under these names for the first time. © 1984, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved
