- Sejanus rubricatus Carvalho and Gross Sejanus rubricatus Carvalho and Gross, 1982: 13, figs. 7–9, 96 (n. sp., descr., DV, MG); Schuh, 1984: 154 (disc. generic placement). DISCUSSION: We were able to view images of the type in addition to the original description. Based on these observations Sejanus rubricatus, like S. ruber, has several characters that make its inclusion in the Leucophoropterini problematic: the endosoma is not C-, J-, or Sshaped, but twisted (Carvalho and Gross, 1982: fig. 7); the secondary gonopore is in a medial location like some Campylomma spp. (e.g., C. papuana Schuh [1984: fig. 1013]); the apex of the endosoma in the original illustration of S. rubricatus (Carvalho and Gross, 1982: fig. 7) roughly corresponds to the anterior and posterior blades of Campylomma misinterpreted as one structure by the illustrator; and the overall coloration is primarily white to beige for the pronotum, antennae, and thorax, which is consistent with the coloration of most Campylomma species, in contrast to the red, dark brown, or pale brown coloration of most Leucophoropterini. HOSTS: Unknown. DISTRIBUTION: Queensland. HOLOTYPE: AUSTRALIA: Queensland: Split Rock, 14 km S of Laura, 23–26.vi.1975, G.B. Monteith 18 (QM) [not examined].
