03CAC778FFB3F00AFF6AFB12ED25FBEA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Minjerribah litoura sp. nov. is known from a collection made in August on North Stradbroke Island, Queensland (see Discussion, below). The specific epithet litoura is from Greek, with “ litos ” meaning simple or plain, and “ oura ” meaning tail, in reference to the rather simple hypopygium of this species.	en	Bickel, Daniel J.
