4D852BC6F35A5499AAD58D5FA768D0F1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Leioproctus zephyr is distinguished from all other species of the genus in that both sexes are easily distinguished by the presence of a large medial ridge extending the length of the clypeus with a large, prominent protuberance on the upper half (Figs 1 - 6). Females are unique in having a pectinate inner hind tibial spur featuring a blunt apex (Fig. 14). Male genitalia are also unique in S 7 with two broad, flat apical lobes orientated laterally, fringed with hair, with particularly long hairs on the apical edge; posterior lobes of S 7 extended laterally with broad, flat flanges (Fig. 22); S 8 with large lateral lobes extending beyond the breadth of the apical process; apical process broad, somewhat narrowed towards base, and hirsute, with apex expanded, rounded and membranous (Fig. 28). The glossa of both sexes are also distinctive, being more bifurcated than is typical for most Australian Leioproctus. Additionally, in L. zephyr, labial and maxillary palps are comparatively short, as they do not reach the base of the prementum or apex of paraglossa, respectively; this contrasts with most Leioproctus where the labial and maxillary palps extend just beyond apex of the glossa ..	en	Prendergast, Kit S.
