Body length: ♂ 5.0– 7.4 mm; ♀ 5.7–7.7 mm.</p><p>HEAD. Vertex with u-or v-shaped basal emargination; lateral carinae strongly elevated (raised); vertex much wider at base (posterior end) than at apex; median carina absent or present; apical and subapical carina well developed, straight or slightly u- or v-shaped. Maximum width of frons more than 2× apical width, evenly widening from apex to maximum width or broadening over a very short distance, therefore lateral carinae slightly to distinctly concave; maximum width of frons distinctly dorsad of centre of frontoclypeal suture; lateral carinae slightly to strongly foliaceous (except for I. gimani); median carina incomplete but covering large part of frons; frontoclypeal suture slightly semicircular bent upwards, median part below (not reaching level of) lower margin of antennal scape; median ocellus present. Median and lateral carinae of postclypeus well developed; median carina of anteclypeus well developed; lateral carinae absent. In dorsal view head including eyes much narrower than pronotum. Rostrum surpassing hind coxae (rarely only reaching hind coxae).</p><p>THORAX. Pronotum with hind margin acutely or obtusely angled or rectangular; median carina present; submedian carinae (= postocular carinae) running parallel to eye. Mesonotum with 3 carinae, lateral carinae moderately to well-developed, median carina weakly to well-developed, usually evanescent near posterior border. Forewing steeply tectiform, apices of wings touching; costal border with slight to moderate concavity; tubercles along veins; ScP+R+MP fused, forming long common stem; fork of ScP+RA and RP at same level as or basad of fork CuA1 and CuA2; crossvein r–m 1 slightly to distinctly basad of, or at same level as fork MP1+2 and MP3+4, rarely slightly distad; icu distad of apex of clavus; RP apically trifid; additional subapical cell between branches of RP present; MP1+2 trifid; MP3+4 bifid (rarely trifid); CuA1 and CuA2 apically unforked; nodus of y-vein (fork PCu and A1) moderately to distinctly distad of centre of clavus (rarely slightly distad or central within clavus); subapical cell C5 distinctly longer than subapical cell C4.

The latter two characters separate I. artus from the two similar looking species in the artus group, with whom it shares the very narrow frons (near apical transverse carina) and the colour pattern of the forewing. The forewing colour pattern of I. artus and I. kaanti is not as contrasting with pale areas as in I. loriensis . Innobindus artus has a prominent, thick, strongly sclerotised spine (c) on the flagellum (Fig. 8D). While other species in Innobindus have spines or spine-like ridges on the flagellum, they differ in the following: I. unicornis (very short and thin), I. loriensis (slightly sclerotised), I. geminatus (very short and slightly sclerotised) and I. kaanti (very long and wide spine-like ridge).</p><p>Etymology</p><p>The Latin term ‘ artus ’ means ‘narrow’, ‘tight’.

Forewing about 3.1× longer than wide; costal margin with about 4–5 very indistinct tubercles; fork of ScP+RA and RP at same level as fork CuA1 and CuA2; crossvein r–m 1 slightly basad of, or at same level as 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 at same level as transverse veinlet r–m 1; icu, where it inserts at CuA, distinctly distad of apex of clavus; RA unforked; MP3+4 bifid; crossvein m–cu 2 (delimiting subapical cell C4) distinctly distad of crossvein icua (delimiting subapical cell C5); nodus of y-vein slightly distad of centre of clavus. Hind leg: tibia with 7 apical spines and 6–7 very small to small lateral spines; 1 st tarsomere with 7 apical teeth and no platellae; 2 nd tarsomere with 8 apical teeth, no platellae, but up to 3 very fine setae.</p><p>MALE GENITALIA. Anal tube as in Fig. 13C–D. Pygofer and genital styles as in Fig. 13E–F: ventromedian process of pygofer narrow, subtriangular. Shaft of genital styles without indentation.Aedeagus (Fig. 13A– B): phallotheca left laterally with a long spine (a), bent about 90 degrees in distal half; ventrally with a long, curved spine (b); dorso-(right)laterally with a very long, very thin spine (c), covering almost entire length of phallotheca. Flagellum without spines or spine-like ridges.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>Central NSW (Fig. 14A).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03DA9324FFEE602C6F50FD77FE20EC3E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
