Genus Neocarpia Tsaur & Hsu

Neocarpia rhizophorae Löcker

Genus Neocarpia Tsaur & Hsu 2003: 440. Type species: Neocarpia maai Tsaur & Hsu 2003: 440, by original designation (Taiwan).

Known Australian species: Löcker et al. (2010) placed a single Australian species (N. rhizophorae from Qld, NT and WA) into this previously monotypic genus from Taiwan.

Notes: In addition to the wing venation character given in the key, this genus is distinguished by the strongly elevated lateral carinae of the vertex and by the apical teeth on the hind tibia (Löcker et al. 2010). The single Australian species has been collected in both Qld and WA in mangroves and in NT in the East Alligator River region. The male holotype from Townsville, Qld, was collected on Rhizophora stylosa (Rhizophoraceae) from whence its name was derived.
