Body length: ♂ 4.3–4.8 mm; ♀ 4.2–5.5 mm.</p><p>Head: Vertex about as long as wide or slightly wider than long with the exception of M. stenocara (1.4 x longer than wide); vertex divided into apical and subapical compartment by subapical carina; apical carina deeply u-shaped. Apical transverse carina merged with raised (in relief) area ventrally of apical transverse carina on top of head. Frons invisible in dorsal view. Frons about as long as wide or longer than wide. Maximum width of frons no more than twice apical width (only in M. stenocara about twice apical width); position of maximum width distinctly dorsad of centre of frontoclypeal suture. Median carina of frons complete. Lateral carinae of frons slightly elevated, foliaceous, slightly to moderately extending laterally, concealing base of antennae. Median ocellus of frons absent. Rostrum surpassing hind coxae and reaching or just not reaching hind femura. Subapical segment of rostrum less than twice as long as apical segment.</p><p>Thorax: Pronotum with median carina moderately to well developed; pronotum about the same length in middle as laterally; submedian carinae running parallel to eyes. Mesonotum with well-developed lateral carinae; median carina well developed near anterior margin, evanescent near posterior margin. Forewings moderately tectiform; surpassing tip of abdomen; widest around apex of clavus; concavity at costal border absent; no tubercles in cells at apex of wing, only along veins; tubercles in pterostigma scattered; ScP+R+M forming a very long common stem distad of basal cell; fork of ScP+RA and RP distinctly basad (far away) of fork CuA1 and CuA2; fork of CuA1 and CuA 2 in apical half of forewing; icu, where it inserts at CuP, distinctly distad of apex of clavus; RA apically unforked; MP3+4 unforked; nodus of y-vein more or less central within clavus. Hind leg: tibia with 6 apical spines (grouped in two groups with a small to large gap in between, or grouped without distinct gap), outermost spine the largest followed by two shorter spines that appear retracted (forming a second row), innermost three spines on same row as outermost spine, with middle spine of the three slightly shorter than the others; 1 st tarsomere with 7 apical teeth and no platellae; 2 nd tarsomere 6–7 apical teeth and no platellae but with up to 3 very fine setae (= subapical setae).</p><p>Male genitalia: Phallotheca very wide at base, narrow in middle section; with 2–4 spines of varying length, some of which can be bifurcate; bifurcate ventral process absent ( M. fletcheri and M. stenocara) or rudimentary ( M. gratiosa).</p><p>Female genitalia: Segment IX truncate, with rounded edges, with a concave disc bearing a slightly to moderately elevated dividing wall running from ovipositor to anal tube, waxplate absent. Ovipositor very long, sabreshaped, slightly curved upwards, protruding much further than anal style (Fig. 1). Anal tube in M. gratiosa very short, widening towards apex, in M. fletcheri slightly longer, slightly widening or same width throughout. Anal style long (as long or longer than dorsal length of anal tube), slightly to much longer (up to twice as long) than remainder of 11 th segment.</p><p>Diagnosis: Monomalpha is endemic to Australia and can be distinguished from all other Australian Cixiidae by the following combination of characters: apex of head with two transverse carinae; apical transverse carina of vertex deeply u-shaped (Figs 3E, 4D, 7D); apical transverse carina merged with raised (in relief) area ventrally of apical transverse carina (Figs 4C, 5D); forewings with tubercles only along veins (not within cells in apical third of wing); median carina of frons unforked (Fig. 4C); frons without median ocellus; second hind tarsomere without platellae, but with three or fewer very fine setae (Figs 3F, 6E); fork of CuA1 and CuA 2 in apical half of forewing (Figs 3A, 5A, 5B).</p><p>Remarks. The original description of the genus (Emeljanov 2000) mentions the following characters: second hind tarsomere with the four inner teeth bearing thin subapical setae; forewing with M [MP according to Bourgoin et al. 2015 terminology] five-pointed, with 3 MA branches [MP1+2 according to Bourgoin et al. 2015 terminology] or only two-pointed (in the type species); short stalk ScRM [stalk ScP+R+M according to Bourgoin et al. 2015 terminology] present. Examination of the holotype, paratypes (those that were available for examination) and other material examined, revealed only up to 3 subapical setae (= very fine setae) on the second tarsomere and only up to 3 MP branches (MP1+2 bifurcate or unforked, MP3+4 unforked) and compared to most Cixiidae ScP+R+M forms a rather long stem in Monomalpha .</p><p>Distribution. Australia (Qld, NSW including Lord Howe Island).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039F87A15465B512FF2C338B5BEA07A1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Forewings light brown, tubercles and veins concolorous with cells or slightly darker (crossveins and some sections of longitudinal veins sometimes darker). Legs light brown. Abdomen mid brown. Morphology. Body length: ♂ 4.3–4.8 mm; ♀ 4.2–5.0 mm.</p><p>Head: Vertex 0.8–1.0 x as long as wide; slightly wider at base than at apical carina or about the same; subapical carina v- or u- shaped; lateral carinae slightly elevated; median carina of vertex covering 1/2 to 1/3 of entire length of basal compartment, carina sometimes engraved into disc instead of elevated; angle formed by caudal border of vertex more or less rectangle or acute. In dorsal view head including eyes slightly narrower than pronotum. Frons 0.9–1.2 x as long as wide; maximum width of frons no more than twice apical width; median carina on frons complete, weakly developed; lateral carinae of frons in facial view convex, rectilinear apically. Frontoclypeal suture strongly semicircular, bent upwards, median part just reaching lower margin of antennal scape. Postclypeus with weakly developed or evanescent median carina and well developed or evanescent lateral carinae. Anteclypeus with weakly developed or evanescent median and lateral carinae. Median carina on anteclypeus slightly higher elevated than on postclypeus, or about the same.</p><p>Thorax: Hind margin of pronotum acutely angled. Forewing 3.1–3.3 x longer than wide; costal margin with 25–28 tubercles; tubercles of forewing concolorous with veins in most areas, slightly in contrast with paler coloured veins near apex of forewing; crossvein r-m 1 distinctly basad of fork MP1+2 and MP3+4; transverse veinlet m-cu 1, where it inserts at CuA, distinctly basad of transverse veinlet r-m 1; transverse veinlet m-cu 1, where it inserts at MP3+4, distinctly basad of transverse veinlet r-m 1; icu, where it inserts at CuA, slightly distad of or at same level as apex of clavus; RP bifid; additional subapical cell between branches of RP absent; MP1+2 bifid, rarely unforked; CuA1 apically unforked; CuA2 bifid; crossvein m-cu 2 (delimiting subapical cell C4) more or less at same level as crossvein icua (delimiting subapical cell C5); subapical cell C5 moderately or distinctly longer than subapical cell C4. Hind leg: tibia with 1–4 small to large lateral spines and 6 apical spines, spines grouped in sets of 3 spines, without a distinct gap; 1 st tarsomere with 7 apical teeth and no platellae, fourth tooth (counted from outside) shorter (= protruding less far towards second hind tarsomere) than third tooth; 2 nd tarsomere with 6 (rarely 7) apical teeth, no platellae but up to 3 very fine setae.</p><p>Male genitalia: Anal tube as in Figs 9 D-E. Pygofer and genital styles as in Figs 9 F-G. Aedeagus (Figs 9 A-C): Phallotheca dorsally with two short spines (a) and (b); left laterally with a long spine (c) and a medium sized spine (d); right laterally with a long, in ventral view slightly s-shaped spine (e). Phallotheca with a slightly sclerotised, ventral ridge, ending in two small, pointed processes far apart from each other. Flagellum without spines.</p><p>Diagnosis. This species shares the arrangement of teeth on the 1 st hind tarsomere with M. gratiosa: the fourth tooth (counted from outside) is shorter (= protruding less far towards second hind tarsomere) than the third tooth (Figs 3F, 5F). Emeljanov (2000) fittingly calls this character state: “…of which the distinctly shorter second and fourth teeth belong to the second row.” Monomalpha fletcheri, however, can be distinguished from M. gratiosa by the distribution (Lord Howe Island for the former, eastern mainland Australia for the latter), by the proportions of the frons ( M. fletcheri: frons about as long as wide in widest part; M. gratiosa: frons at least 1.5x longer than wide in widest part) (Emeljanov 2000), by the distinction of the carinae on the frons (carinae sharper in M. gratiosa) (Emeljanov 2000), the shape of the male genital styles (apical portion deeply emarginate in M. fletcheri, very shallowly emarginate in M. gratiosa) and the forking of MP1+ 2 in the forewing (unforked in M. gratiosa; mostly bifid, rarely unforked in M. fletcheri). For details on how to separate this species from M. stenocara see Diagnosis section of M. stenocara .</p><p>Remarks. A further three males resembled M. fletcheri, but showed some differences in the length and curvature of the spines on the aedeagus. Because all three specimens are abnormally pale coloured, and one of them shows signs of being parasitised by a dryinid wasp, these differences are considered to be aberrations until further material proves otherwise. These males, collected at Lord Howe Island, are located at the AMS.</p><p>Distribution: NSW (endemic to Lord Howe Island).</p><p>Associated plant records: Bubbia howeana, Cassinia tenuifolia, Drypetes deplanchei, Elaeocarpus costatus, Sphaeropteris robusta, Sphaeropteris sp.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039F87A15463B51EFF2C34AA5A2D0681	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body length: ♂ 4.3–4.6 mm; ♀ 4.9–5.5 mm.</p><p>Head: Vertex 1.0–1.1 x as long as wide; slightly wider at base than at apical carina or about the same; subapical carina u-shaped; lateral carinae strongly elevated; median carina of vertex covering about 1/6 of entire length of basal compartment; angle formed by caudal border of vertex acute. In dorsal view head including eyes slightly narrower than pronotum. Frons 1.5–1.6 x longer than wide; maximum width of frons no more than twice apical width; median carina on frons complete, well developed; lateral carinae of frons in facial view sinuate, slightly s-shaped. Frontoclypeal suture slightly semicircular, bent upwards, median part not reaching lower margin of antennal scape. Postclypeus with weakly or well developed median carina and well developed lateral carinae. Anteclypeus with well-developed median carina; lateral carinae evanescent or absent. Median carina on anteclypeus about as highly elevated than on postclypeus.</p><p>Thorax: Hind margin of pronotum rectangular, obtusely or acutely angled. Costal margin of forewing with 19–20 tubercles; crossvein r-m 1 distinctly basad of fork MP1+2 and MP3+4; tubercles of forewing dark, distinctly in contrast with paler coloured veins; transverse veinlet m-cu 1, where it inserts at CuA, distinctly basad of transverse veinlet r-m 1; transverse veinlet m-cu 1, where it inserts at MP3+4, distinctly basad of transverse veinlet r-m 1; icu, where it inserts at CuA, distinctly distad of apex of clavus; RP apically unforked; MP1+2 unforked. Hind leg: tibia with 2–3 small to large lateral spines and 6 apical spines; 1 st tarsomere with 7 apical teeth and no platellae, fourth tooth (counted from outside) shorter (= protruding less far towards second hind tarsomere) than third tooth; 2 nd tarsomere with 6 apical teeth, no platellae and up to 3 very fine setae.</p><p>Male genitalia: Anal tube as in Figs 10 C-D. Pygofer and genital styles as in Figs 10 E-F. Aedeagus (Figs 10 A- B): Phallotheca left laterally with a curved spine (a); ventrally with a long ridge, covering almost the entire length of the phallotheca and giving rise to a curved spine (b); right laterally with two long spines (c) and (d). Phallotheca with a slightly sclerotised, ventral ridge, ending in two small, pointed processes in close proximity to each other. Flagellum without spines.</p><p>Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from all other species of Monomalpha by a combination of two characters: narrow frons (Figs 4C, 5D) and 1 st hind tarsomere with apical teeth arranged in two rows (second and fourth tooth from outside shorter) (Fig. 5F). For further details see Diagnosis sections of M. fletcheri and M. stenocara .</p><p>Remarks. This species has been described from a single female specimen. In the material examined during this project, several specimens that match the chaetotaxy of M. gratiosa were collected in a region (southern Qld) close to the type locality (northern NSW). Colouration seems to vary a fair bit within this species, however, some specimens clearly show the crossband on the fore wing described by Emeljanov (2000). The only other Monomalpha species with the same chaetotaxy is M. fletcheri, but due to differences in distribution ( M. fletcheri: Lord Howe Island; M. gratiosa: mainland Australia near the Qld/NSW border) (Fig. 13A), width/carination of frons and wing venation, these species can be distinguished. Based on the reasons stated above these specimens are assumed to be conspecific with M. gratiosa . This means male specimens are presented for this species for the first time.</p><p>Distribution: NSW (mainland), Qld.</p><p>Associated plant records: Argyrodendron actinophyllum .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039F87A1546FB51DFF2C35535B1E06ED	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, M. stenocara is hitherto only recorded from northern Queensland, whereas M. gratiosa inhabits southern Queensland and northern New South Wales. Monomalpha stenocara can be separated from the other two species in Monomalpha by the arrangement of apical teeth on the 1 st hind tarsomere. In M. gratiosa and M. fletcheri the apical teeth seem to be arranged in two rows, with the fourth tooth (counted from outside) shorter (= protruding less far towards second hind tarsomere) than the third tooth (Figs 3F, 5F). In M. stenocara all spines are arranged in one row with the fourth tooth (counted from the outer side) longer (= protruding further towards second hind tarsomere) than the third tooth (Fig. 6E). Further, M. stenocara has 7 apical teeth on the 2 nd hind tarsomere (Fig. 6E) whereas the two other species usually have 6 apical teeth (rarely 7).</p><p>Distribution: Qld.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039F87A1546CB51AFF2C32A059D607A1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
