Introduction

This endemic genus contains two species distributed across a wide area of inland and coastal Australia. The species are similar in general appearance to species of Hackeriana Evans (tribe Thymbrini) but they can be easily separated by the presence of a well defined, although relatively narrow, appendix extending around the apex of the tegmen in the species of Newmaniana.

Diagnosis

The anteclypeus is flat and the frontoclypeus convex anteriorly and depressed medially, slightly anterior to the apex of the head. The antennal depressions are deep and continue anteriorly to the edge of the maxillary plates. The frontal sutures diverge posteriorly and terminate at the ocelli, which are not visible either in ventral or dorsal aspect. The apical margin of the head is more or less vertical and narrows medially. The crown is flat and anteriorly produced and the eyes are large. The pronotum is slightly transversely convex and the hind margin almost straight. The scutellum is large and equal in length to the combined length of the crown and pronotum. The tegmina have moderately wide appendices and the venation and the armature of the hind tibiae are typical of the [tribe] (Evans 1942).
