The subgenus Setogaster is characterised by the dorso-basal region of the dentes with a rounded tubercle and lacking spines, absence of apical bulb on Ant.IV, and presence of spinelet on the basal mucronal spine (Cipola et al. 2019). The new species lacks dental tubercle, as well as L. (S.) fasciatus (Salmon, 1951), but presents the other characteristics that define Setogaster, which is why it has been assigned to this subgenus (see Mateos &amp; Greenslade 2015). Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) agricolus sp. nov. is close to species Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) coorongensis sp. nov., Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) fasciatus (Salmon, 1951) sensu Mateos &amp; Greenslade, 2015, Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) kuakea Christiansen &amp; Bellinger, 1992, Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) nashi sp. nov., Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) nigrofasciatus Womersley, 1934, Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) praecisus Schött, 1917 and Acrocyrtus zhujiensis Xu, Pan &amp; Zhang, 2013. Body pigmentation, dorsal body chaetotaxy, labial chaetotaxy, foot complex morphology (unguis and unguiculus) and dental tubercle shape and development are useful characters that allow differentiating these species (Table 1). Body without pigment in L. (S.) agricolus sp. nov. clearly separates this species to the pigmented L. (S.) fasciatus, L. (S.) nashi sp. nov., L. (S.) nigrosetosus, L. (S.) praecisus, and A. zhujiensis. Abd.IV F2 and F3 as ciliated macrochaetae in L. (S.) agricolus sp. nov. separates this species to L. (S.) coorongensis sp. nov. and L. (S.) kuakea (with Abd.IV F2 and F3 as smooth microchaetae).</p> <p>The new species was trapped in large numbers, up to 75 individuals per pitfall trap day at times, in cotton fields in northern New South Wales. On one site, it was virtually the only species trapped and was most abundant under cotton trash in furrows between plants (Lytton-Hitchins et al. 2015) and survived several applications of pesticide to the crop. Numbers plummeted after irrigation. It was recorded by Lytton-Hitchins et al. (2015) as Setogaster spp. In wheat fields, nearly 600 km further south, it was also only collected in pitfalls and not from soil samples but it was much less abundant and only found in numbers in October 1994 when immatures were also present. More than twice as many individuals were trapped on direct drilled wheat plots than on conventionally tilled plots.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B85AC676F3524658FF603485FAF8FC3A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(S.) nashi sp. nov., and also to species listed in Table 1. Cephalic chaeta M2 and Abd.IV chaetae F2 and F3 as smooth microchaetae in L. (S.) coorongensis sp. nov. are good diagnostic characters differentiating this species and L. (S.) agricolus sp. nov. (with these chaetae as ciliated macrochaetae). The best diagnostic character between L. (S.) coorongensis sp. nov. and L. (S.) kuakea is the morphology of cephalic chaeta M2, smooth microchaeta in the former and cilated macrochaeta in the latter. Body without pigment in L. (S.) coorongensis clearly separates this species to the pigmented L. (S.) fasciatus, L. (S.) nashi sp. nov., L. (S.) nigrosetosus, L. (S.) praecisus, and A. zhujiensis.</p> <p>The new species appears to be locally endemic but as it was collected on a large island adjacent to the coast and with similar vegetation, we predict it is more widespread in southern South Australia than these records suggest. The island had been heavily impacted by agriculture in the past, by clearing, grazing and planting of broad acre arable crops but is now being rehabilitated by plantings of native vegetation in some areas. The new species was collected on several of the rehabilitated sites but only those with a good covering of leaf litter and it was the second most abundant species found on the eighteen sites sampled with nearly 100 pitfalls set for a week in summer.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B85AC676F35A465BFF60349AFAFAF867	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(S.) agricolus sp. nov. (Figs 23–24).</p> <p>Discussion. Lepidocyrtus (Setogaster) nashi sp. nov. is close to the other two new species described, L. (S.) agricolus sp. nov. and L. (S.) coorongensis sp. nov., and to the other species listed in Table 1. Body with blue pigment and labium with smooth vestigial microchaeta r are good diagnostic characters differentiating L. (S.) nashi sp. nov. from species L. (S.) agricolus sp. nov., L. (S.) coorongensis sp. nov. and L. (S.) kuakea (Table 1). Acuminate unguiculus in L. (S.) nashi sp. nov. clearly separates this species to the other pigmented species listed in Table 1.</p> <p>The new species appears to be locally endemic and restricted to alpine grassland habitat on Mt Bogong where it is active under snow. The plant species present in the area were Celmisia costiniana (70%), Poa fawcettiae (20%), Luzula acutifolia (5%), and assorted herbs (5%) including Trachymene humilis and Aciphylla glacialis. A number of other invertebrates have been described as restricted to this habitat and locality (Greenslade &amp; Slatyer 2017, Braby &amp; Wurtz 2018). Rocky crevices here are an aestivation site for the Bogong Moth, an important food source for the Mountain Pygmy Possum. This fauna is being impacted adversely by climate change resulting in reduced snow cover as well as by increasing tourism. There is anecdotal evidence of visitors interfering with aestivating moths.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B85AC676F35E4643FF6037DFFA53FB7F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
