5E538809D5A054AEA5E1699E3DA6C600.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This genus is diagnosable within Moriomorphini by: 1, mesosternum broad between mesocoxae; 2, mandibular scrobe present, margined ventrally by a lateral expansion; 3, mesotibia gracile, not expanded apically; 4, apical two maxillary palpomeres and apical labial palpomere apparently glabrous; 5, prosternal process not margined apicoventrally; 6, elytral striation nearly complete, striae 1 - 7 all developed apically, and striae 6 - 8 as deep or only slightly shallower than striae 1 - 5 near elytral midlength (Liebherr 2020). The mandibles are moderately elongate, with the mandibular length measured from the anterior condyle 1.7 - 1.9 x distance from anterior condyle to apicolateral margin of labrum. The ligula is broadly rounded to truncate apically, bisetose, with the two setae separated by 2 - 3 diameters of the setal articulatory sockets. The paraglossae are elongate and thin, their overall length 2 - 3 x the distance from the paraglossal base to the apical ligular margin. The mentum tooth is present, its apex narrowly rounded to subacuminate and its lateral margins upraised. Both lateral and basal pronotal setae are present. The elytra lack dorsal setae except for T. otway sp. nov., which has a single dorsal seta near midlength. The parascutellar seta is present. There are 13 lateral elytral setae associated with the eighth stria, arranged in an anterior series of seven setae and a posterior series of six, and both subapical and apical elytral setae are present. As in many moriomorphines, the apical portion of interval 8 immediately laterad stria 7 is upraised as a distinct carina. Also, the metathoracic flight wings are vestigial in all Theprisa, with the metepisternum foreshortened; its maximum width subequal to greater than the lateral length.	en	Liebherr, James K., Porch, Nick, Shaw, Matthew, Sinclair, Bronte E., Maddison, David R.

936E7F35464354FDA3AAE17365619711.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (n = 5). This species is diagnosable among Theprisa spp. by the broad body and the presence of a dorsal elytral seta immediately mesad the third stria near elytral midlength (Fig. 1 A). The pronotum is broad, MPW / PL = 1.38 - 1.46. The pronotal median base is sparsely punctate medially, with the marginal bead greatly reduced, evidenced only as a broad, slightly depressed area along the medially expanded base, in contrast to the narrowly upraised, distinct marginal bead posterad the laterobasal depressions. Whereas elytral striae 1 - 4 are crenulate on the disc (i. e., lined by punctures that expand the strial breadth) striae 5 - 7 are progressively broader and smoother, 6 - 7 slightly wavering along length but impunctate. In contrast T. australis, T. darlingtoni, and T. montana have striae 1 - 7 smooth, and T. convexa has striae 1 - 7 punctate near midlength. Apical abdominal ventrite of male with a single seta each side along margin, female apical ventrite with two setae each side plus a median pair of subapical setae. Standardized body length is 5.9 - 6.3 mm. Figure 1.

The epithet is to be treated as a noun in apposition.	en	Liebherr, James K., Porch, Nick, Shaw, Matthew, Sinclair, Bronte E., Maddison, David R.

A497B6DA8CCC5CA4BB4E3B6877792F9C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (n = 5). T. darlingtoni is most similar to T. montana based on large body size; 7.4 - 8.0 mm versus 7.0 - 8.9 mm for T. montana. In both species the elytra are broad basally, here HuW / MEW = 0.66 - 0.67, with the lateral margins subparallel (Figs 1 C, 2 B), and the elytral striae smooth. But T. darlingtoni exhibits a much more pronounced tubercle laterad the deep, arcuate depression bordering the pronotal median base, and the pronotal lateral margins are only briefly sinuate laterad the basal pronotal seta (Fig. 2 B), not concavely curved laterad the entire laterobasal depression as in T. montana (Fig. 1 C). The elytral lateral marginal depression is also much broader in T. darlingtoni, with the rufous coloration of the depression contrasted to the rufopiceous interval 8, whereas the narrow lateral depression of T. montana is only slightly paler than interval 8. Cuticular microsculpture is well developed, with the vertex covered by a shallow but evident transverse mesh, the pronotal disc bearing a shallow transverse mesh, sculpticell breadth 4 x length, and the elytral surface with silvery subiridescence due to the presence of dense transverse lines across the convex elytral intervals. The apical abdominal ventrite of both male and female bear three seta each side along the margin, the median pair in line with the outer two bilateral pairs.	en	Liebherr, James K., Porch, Nick, Shaw, Matthew, Sinclair, Bronte E., Maddison, David R.

A497B6DA8CCC5CA4BB4E3B6877792F9C.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species honors Professor Philip J. Darlington, Jr., who among his many roles, systematically collected carabid beetles across Australia, and served as the first post-doctoral supervisor for Dr. Terry L. Erwin (Kavanaugh 2020). Terry championed a Darlingtonian world view regarding the diversification of carabid beetles (Erwin 1981), never losing sight of those questions that tied both men to primary observations made over long careers spent in the field.	en	Liebherr, James K., Porch, Nick, Shaw, Matthew, Sinclair, Bronte E., Maddison, David R.
