Within the subfamily Emesinae the Ploiariolini are distinguished by the following combination of characters: small size (5–7 mm), pronotum completely covering mesonotum, RS vein absent, and oblique cross vein connecting proximal corner of discal cell with costal margin. Additionally, the ploiarioline seminal duct is basally bifurcate forming two ducts, each within a separate endosomal lobe.</p><p>Distribution. Members of the Ploiariolini are found throughout the world, excluding the far north and far south. They are most diverse in the tropics and particularly so in the Australasian region. Within Australia, the tribe is most diverse in tropical and temperate areas, with few species penetrating the arid region.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/314487B36B56FFAEFF7AEA6DFB2BDC7C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is known from northern Australia (fig. 2).</p><p>Remarks. Ademula austrina is the only species of Ademula known from Australia (Wygodzinsky 1965). Prior to this study A. austrina was only known from the type specimen. Over the course of this study we found many specimens of Australian Ademula that perfectly match the type of A. austrina with the exclusion of wing pattern (see Wygodzinsky 1966: 340, Fig. 102B). These specimens all have a pale stramineous ground colour, but vary greatly in the intensity of pigmentation on the wings, legs, and antennae. Pale representatives, though infrequent, are similar to Wygodzinsky’s description of the type and overlap with the known distribution of A. austrina . These specimens (see material examined) are currently placed in A. austrina . Variation in forewing colouration is illustrated in Figure 1.</p><p>Wygodzinsky (1966) was struck by the uniqueness of A. austrina due to the lacing “vermiform fenestrations” of its forewings. Most A. austrina material seen by the authors will key to A. reticulata McAtee and Malloch using Wygozinsky’s mongraph (1966).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/314487B36B53FFABFF7AE9B8FDB1DBA1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Emesopsis is probably the most morphologically diverse genus in the tribe. The genus has previously been diagnosed by the presence of a small subquadrate basal cell, however, this character is not present in one Australian species, Emesopsis infenestra, nor in an undescribed species from Lord Howe Island. Though these species lack a basal cell, they are otherwise clearly members of the genus. Furthermore, the basal cell has been found to be present in one wing and absent in the other within a specimen of E. fenestrella . The loss of the basal cell could result from the migration of the Cu and discal cell towards one another. This transformation of a large cell to small, and then obsolete subquadrate cell can be visualized by examining the wings of E. fenestrella, E. bunda and E. infenestra respectively.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/314487B36B50FFA8FF7AEB9BFD81DC78	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This genus can be recognized in Australia by the combination of the following characters: head and thorax with dense wool-like pile; scutellum, metanotum, and 2nd abdominal tergite (1st visible) with median spine (one or two rarely absent in species from other geographic areas); pronotum with lateral carinae; forewing with subbasal cell absent, and pterostigma extending just beyond apex of discal cell.</p><p>Remarks. This is the largest genus in the tribe, with approximately 78 described species (Maldona 1990). The genus is distributed throughout the globe, but has been most extensively treated in the New World (e.g. McAtee and Malloch 1925). The Old World fauna is very poorly understood, with many species known only from their descriptions (Wygodzinsky 1966). Comprehensive monographic study of the genus is overdue.</p><p>The Australian species described here are very similar in gross appearance. Despite their apparent similarity, species can be easily sorted by the patterns of pubescence on the venter of the abdomen, size, and colour patterning. The phylogenetic utility of these characters within the genus requires further examination. All species occurring in Australia (for which males are known) possess an apically emarginated pygophore. This condition was previously only described from E. rubromaculatus, though Wygodzinsky (1966) knew the condition occurred in other undescribed species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/314487B36B47FFBFFF7AEB0BFE08DC5C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
