3E4187A017574E0CFF54F9A6FDEAFD69.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Aulacidae comprises two genera, Aulacus and Pristaulacus (see, for example, Smith 2001, Turrisi et al. 2009). For a recent synopsis of the systematics of the Aulacidae and taxonomic history, see Smith (2001), Jennings et al. (2004 a, b), and Turrisi et al. (2009). Aulacus was recently redefined by Turrisi et al. (2009) within a cladistic framework. Aulacus can be distinguished from Pristaulacus by the following combination of characters: occipital carina absent (present in Pristaulacus); frons sculptured above antennal sockets (not sculptured in Pristaulacus); tarsal claws with one weak basal process, lacking tooth-like processes along inner margin (with three to four tooth-like processes along inner margin in Pristaulacus, i. e. pectinate); petiole (metasomal T 1 + T 2) at most as long as wide in Pristaulacus (slender, at least 2.5 × as long as wide in Aulacus) (Turrisi 2007; Turrisi et al. 2009; Watanabe et al. 2013). Aulacidae currently comprises 264 extant species — Aulacus with 83 species and Pristaulacus with 181 species (Turrisi 2017; Smith 2018). Turrisi (2017) recently analysed the distribution of the two genera and found that the family is represented in all zoogeographic regions except Antactica, with most species occurring in the Australian and Neotropical regions. Prior to this paper, 38 % of the world Aulacus species were known from Australasia (Turrisi 2017), but the proportion of Australasian species is now 64 %. Most Australian Aulacus are from the higher rainfall, forested areas of the east coast of mainland Australia and Tasmania, with just three species recorded from south-west Western Australia and four from South Australia (Jennings et al. 2004 a, b). To date, no Aulacus have been collected from the Northern Territory.	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

3E4187A017564E0FFF54FD08FC89FCB0.taxon	discussion	Comments. Aulacus was first proposed as a genus by Jurine (1801) but was a nomen nudum because no species were included. In 1807, Jurine rectified this by describing Aulacus striatus. Early authors, however, did not define the generic limits of Aulacus, so a number of genera were erected without due consideration of interspecific variation. This resulted in a proliferation of new genera: Disaulacinus Kieffer, Disphaeron Dahlbom and Micraulacinus Kieffer from Australia, Neuraulacinus Kieffer from Australia and South America, Parafoenus Kieffer from South America, and Pycnaulacus Cushman from the USA. By 1912, Kieffer had recognised some 41 species in six genera as well as the subgenus Aulacinus Westwood. Of these, 17 species were Australian. Although Kieffer (1902) had synonymised Pammegischia Provancher with Aulacus, the mainly North American Pammegischia were not transferred to Aulacus until much later (Townes 1938). In his 1939 catalog, Hedicke synonymised Disphaeron and included a number of additional species in the other genera. Townes (1950) evaluated various characters, particularly wing venation, and in the process defined the generic limits of Aulacus, leading him to synonymise Aulacinus, Micraulacinus, Neuraulacinus, Parafoenus, and Pycnaulacus with Aulacus. However, Townes erroneously synonymised Disaulacinus with Aulacostethus Philippi (now Pristaulacus Kieffer). Disaulacinus was later synonymised with Aulacus by Crosskey (1953). Since Crosskey (1953), the classification has remained stable. Smith (2001) provided a world catalog of Aulacidae, including 18 Australian species. Jennings & Austin (2004 a, b) added six new Aulacus species from South Australia and Western Australia (see also checklist of Australian species in Jennings 2010 & Turrisi 2017). Based on morphological analyses, Turrisi et al. (2009) found Aulacus to be paraphyletic. However, this needs to be confirmed by a comprehensive global phylogenetic analysis. As there have not been any further attempts to examine species relationships, here we continue to place the Australian aulacid taxa with simple hind tarsal claws (i. e. not pectinate) in Aulacus (see Jennings et al. 2004 a).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

3E4187A0175A4E03FF54F9B3FC08F89C.taxon	discussion	Comments. Kieffer (1911) originally described A. nigriventris as a variety of A. albimanus, although they were later separated into two species (Smith 2001). Although the whereabouts of the holotype of A. nigriventris is in question, we believe that the male specimen in the BMNH is the holotype as it is clearly labelled in Kieffer's handwriting as " Aulacinus albimanus var. nigriventris ". There is also a separate typed label " Determined by Dr. Kieffer ". The type specimens of Aulacus albimanus and A. nigriventris are similar in both general colouration and sculpturing, differing only in the colouration of the scape and pedicel which are orange in the former species and black in the latter species. Given this is the only distinguishing feature between the two specimenss, we hereby synonymise the two names. Aulacus albimanus keys out with A. burnsi, but the face is rugose (rugulose in A. burnsi), ovipositor guide somewhat caudal (medial in A. burnsi), and body black except femora, tibiae and posterior T 1 orange (body black except propleuron and ventral half of pronotum orange in A. burnsi).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

Aulacus aquilus is in a group together with A. bashfordi, A. froggatti and A. pallidicaudis, all of which have the mesosoma rounded antero-laterally in lateral view, metasoma ovate, and lack an ovipositor guide on the hind coxae. Aulacus aquilus and A. pallidicaudus both have a lateral medial carina above the toruli which is absent in the other two species. Aulacus aquilus and A. pallidicaudus can be readily separated by the sculpturing on the face (rugose in A. aquilus and rugulose-reticulate in A. pallidicaudus).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

3E4187A017414E1AFF54FF48FD60FAB9.taxon	discussion	Comments. Turrisi et al. (2009) suggested that amongst several diagnostic characters, Aulacus (worldwide) lack an occipital carina, which is present in Pristaulacus. However, two species from Australia, A. bamagensis and A. grossi (coded correctly in Turrisi et al. (2009) as having an occipital carina) have a weak (narrow) occipital carina laterally which is absent medially. Aulacus grossi is a small species (body 4.5 mm and ovipositor 4.2 mm in length) with the mesosoma and metasoma about equal in length. It can readily be distinguished from A. bamagensis, which has a length of 7.5 mm, excluding the ovipositor which is 3.0 mm in length, and the mesosoma is 1.77 × the length of the metasoma. There are also numerous sculpturing and colour differences.	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

Aulacus bashfordi is in a group together with A. aquilus, A. froggatti and A. pallidicaudis, all of which have the mesosoma rounded antero-laterally in lateral view, metasoma ovate, and lack an ovipositor guide on the hind coxae. Aulacus bashfordi and A. froggatti both lack the lateral medial carina above the toruli that is present in the other two species. Aulacus bashfordi and A. froggatti can be separated by both sculpturing and colour differences. Aulacus bashfordi has a largely black body and rugose face whereas A. froggatti is a largely brown species and has a punctate-reticulate face (see key for additional colour differences).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

In addition to the description provided in Jennings et al. (2004 b), the ovipositor guide is distal, transverse, distal fringe with long setae, and no setae in the groove. Aulacus belairensis keys out with A. longiventris and A. houstoni. The three species can be readily separated by the lateral medial carina above the toruli, which is present in A. longiventris and A. houstoni but absent in A. belairensis. They can also be separated by the position of the ovipositor guide on the hind coxae (transverse and distal in A. belairensis, transverse, medial and broad in A. houstoni, and transverse and somewhat caudad in A. longiventris). There are also colouration differences (see key above).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

3E4187A0174D4E17FF54FF48FDFFF807.taxon	discussion	Comments. The specimen in OUMNH has a locality label of Port Phillip [Victoria, Australia] and a separate identification label “ A. signatus Shk. ” It is not known who placed the identification label on the pin, but it is clearly a very old label. Pristaulacus signatus (Shuckard, 1841) was originally described (as Aulacus signatus) from Ceylon [Sri Lanka] (see also Smith 2001, p. 297). However, this specimen clearly belongs to Aulacus as it has, inter alia, non-pectinate hind claws. Two species, A. confusus and A. mareebaensis, both share the following: mesoscutum angular in lateral view, medial carina above the toruli lacking, metasoma ovate, ovipositor guide on hind coxa oblique and medial, and fore wing with brown infuscation apically on the marginal and third submarginal cells. They can be readily distinguished by the ovipositor being longer than the body in A. confusus and ovipositor shorter than the body in A. mareebaensis (see key for further details).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

3E4187A017714E2DFF54FA80FC0EFD1C.taxon	discussion	Comments. Although A. doddi keys out with A. quickei sp., the two species are readily separated by the characters in the key. Aulacus doddi is readily distinguished from all other Australian species by the distinctive cream band dorso-laterally on metasomal T 2 (Figs 17 A, B). The specimen from Brisbane, Queensland, has somewhat smaller eyes (about 15 % less in length) when compared with the specimens from Kuranda, Queensland. This difference is possibly intra-specific variation but as further specimens are collected, it may prove to belong to a separate species. Also, the various cream coloured areas of the Brisbane specimen are distinctly cream whereas this colouration has darkened in the other specimens. This is probably an artifact, possibly due to the age of the specimens.	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

Both species have a transverse ovipositor guide on the hind coxae, but the guide is somewhat distal in A. deansi compared with medial in A. festivus. As well, A. deansi is a smaller species (length 6.2 (5.6 – 6.6) mm, excluding ovipositor) than A. festivus (length 12.5 mm, excluding ovipositor). There are also colouration differences (see key). The specimen from Bundaberg Creek, Queensland, is generally darker than the holotype (although this may be an artefact of the collecting or preservation technique) and is somewhat more pubescent.	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

Aulacus froggatti is in a group together with A. aquilus, A. bashfordi and A. pallidicaudis, all of which have the mesosoma rounded antero-laterally in lateral view, metasoma ovate, and lack an ovipositor guide on the hind coxae. It can be readily distinguished from A. bashfordi, both of which lack a lateral medial carina above the toruli, by both sculpturing and colour differences. Aulacus froggatti is a largely brown species and has a punctate-reticulate face whereas Aulacus bashfordi has a largely black body and rugose face (see key for additional colour differences).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

Froggatt's handwriting indicates that it may have come from either cerambycid or buprestid larvae. The larva and pupa were apparently bred from longicorn larvae (the label on the specimens is in W. W. Frogatt’s handwriting and were collected on the same date as the holotype adult).

3E4187A017784E24FF54FB26FE97FA2C.taxon	discussion	Comments. Aulacus fuscicornis is similar to A. rieki because both species have the mesoscutum rounded antero-dorsally in lateral view, fore wing without a brown spot apically, hind wing venation complete, metasoma ovate, and frons without a lateral medial carina above the toruli. However, they differ in a number of characters. Aulacus fuscicornis has a face that is rugose-reticulate and without punctures, head and mesosoma black, and metasoma orange except for variable amounts of black on T 1, whereas A. rieki has a punctate-rugose face and body dark brown-black. The male is similar to the female but is smaller and has extra brown colouration on the last few metasomal segments.	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

Aulacus kiwarrakensis is identifiable by the combination of characters in the key, viz., mesosoma angular in lateral view, metasoma ovate, brown spot apically on fore wing, hind wing venation incomplete. All of these characters are shared with both A. leai and A. walkeri, but A. walkeri can be readily separated from the other two species because it has a much longer hind tarsal claw, 3.0 × length of tarsomere 5. Aulacus kiwarrakensis also has a rugose face but differs from A. leai, which has a punctate-rugose face. See also key (above).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

It should be noted that the specimen in the BMNH (3 a. 316) is labelled as a holotype and with a label by Kieffer, but the name on the label is a manuscript name that was not published and therefore has no status. The specimen is identical in appearance to other specimens of A. minutus Crosskey. Aulacus minutus can be distinguished from other species by the characters in the key, viz., mesosoma angular in lateral view, metasoma ovate, hind wing venation complete, ovipositor guide on hind coxae oblique, and lateral medial carina on frons absent. As well, the posterior margin of the head is distinctly concave in dorsal view (Fig. 33 C).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

3E4187A0176C4E36FF54FBBBFD67F9D6.taxon	description	Aulacus moerens is one of several species (A. flavimanus, A. brabyi, and A. flavicornis) that have the mesosoma angular in lateral view, an ovate metasoma, and which lack a spot on the apex of the fore wing and punctures on the face. All of these species are black or largely black, but A. moerens can be distinguished from the others as it has a rugulose (i. e., finely wrinkled) face whereas the other species have a rugose (i. e., coarsely wrinkled) face.

3E4187A017174E4CFF54FE4BFDA8F892.taxon	discussion	Comments. Aulacus obcordellus keys out with A. scitulus. Although very similar in appearance, they can be separated by the sculpturing on the face, punctate-reticulate in A. obcordellus and punctate-rugose in A. scitulus. Both species have a black head and orange meso- and metasoma, but there are some minor colouration differences. For example, A. obcordellus has black antennae except flagellomeres 5 – 7 white, and ovipositor sheath black except tip pale orange, whereas A. scitulus has black antennae except flagellomeres 4 – 7 cream, and ovipositor sheath brown. There are also differences in the metasoma, with A. obcordellus having metasoma 1.19 (1.12 – 1.21) × length of the mesosoma, and T 1 and T 2 broad with several shallow and indistinct punctures antero-dorsally, whereas in A. scitulus the metasoma is 1.3 × the length of the mesosoma, and T 1 and T 2 are narrow, glabrous, and smooth tending to imbricate with scattered, small punctures posteriorly.

Aulacus pallidicaudis is in a group together with A. aquilus, A. bashfordi, and A. froggatti, which have the mesosoma rounded antero-laterally in lateral view, metasoma ovate, and lack an ovipositor guide on the hind coxae. Aulacus aquilus and A. pallidicaudus both have a lateral medial carina above the toruli, which is absent in the other two species. Aulacus pallidicaudus and A. aquilus can be readily separated by the sculpturing on the face (rugose in A. aquilus and rugulose-reticulate in A. pallidicaudus).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

3E4187A0171A4E42FF54FB10FBC4FDB3.taxon	discussion	Comments. Even though the holotype is missing, the single specimen in the QM matches the brief description of Szépligeti (1903). We have refrained from designating this specimen as a neotype of A. planiceps and prefer to wait until additional specimens have been collected and we are quite certain of their identity. This species can be identified by the combination of characters in the key, viz., mesoscutum rounded in lateral view, metasoma ovate, hind wing venation complete, lateral medial carina above toruli absent, and ovipositor guide transverse and medial. Also, the wings are hyaline, with the fore wing only very slightly fuscous near the apex. It differs from the similar species A. deansi and A. festivus in colouration. Of the three species it is the only one which has a black body (see key above). See also comments under A. deansi and A. festivus.	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

3E4187A017024E5AFF54FC32FC27FEF1.taxon	discussion	Comments. Aulacus smithi is similar to both A. nebo and A. williamsi, all three species having the mesoscutum angular dorso-laterally in lateral view (only slightly so in A. smithi), ovate metasoma, and an oblique distal ovipositor guide on the hind coxae. The three species can be separated by the sculpturing on the face, being rugulose in A. smithi but rugulose-reticulate in A. nebo and rugose-reticulate in A. williamsi. Aulacus smithi is similar in body length to A. williamsi (8.1 mm and 8.0 mm respectively) whereas A. nebo is a smaller species (6.5 mm). There are also differences in colouration (see key for differences).	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.

3E4187A0170E4E56FF54FD76FB6DFD8C.taxon	discussion	Comments. Aulacus williamsi keys out with A. nebo. Both species have the mesosoma angular in lateral view, metasoma ovate, fore wing with apical spot at apex, hind wing venation complete, and a distal, oblique ovipositor guide on the hind coxa. They can be readily distinguished by colouration — A. nebo has an orange-brown head, meso- and metasoma, whereas the head and mesosoma are black and metasomal T 1 and T 2 are largely orange with remaining segments blackish brown in A. williamsi. The male of A. williamsi is slightly longer and has a narrower and more elongate metasoma than the female. The flagellomeres also differ in colour, being brown, becoming progressively darker towards the tip.	en	Jennings, John T., Parslow, Ben A., Austin, Andrew D.
