Type species:
Ipoides maculosa Evans, 1939 by original designation.
Introduction
An endemic monotypic genus distributed through the inland areas of SE Australia. The only known species is relatively large with males being about 7.5mm in length and females reaching up to 8mm. It is widespread but not common in collections. Because of its size, N. maculosa might be mistaken for one of the Thymbrini but it has only two rather than three spines at the apex of the hind tibia and has the ocelli on the face rather than on the anterior margin of the head.

Diagnosis
The labium terminates between the middle coxae. There is a deep transverse groove at the apex of the anteclypeus and the lora are on the same plane as the maxillary plates. The frontoclypeus is slightly convex and the vertex laterally concave. The crown of the head, as viewed from above, is of even length with the inner margins of the eyes. The hind tibiae have one spur and several small spines. Nanipoides differs from Ipoides in shape, size and coloration and in the characters furnished by the male genitalia (Evans 1966).
