Genus Jukaruka Distant

Press for checklist of Australian LedriniJukaruka grisea Evans

Genus Jukaruka Distant 1907: 190
Type species: Jukaruka typica Distant, by original designation

Known species: J. typica from Queensland and J. grisea from Western Australia and Queensland are the only described species of the genus.

Comments: The shape of the pronotum, which bears an elevated central longitudinal carina posteriorly but which is not significantly raised above the level of the scutellum, and the shape of the crown, which widens in front of the eyes before narrowing to the apex, differentiates this genus from other Australian Ledrini.
