Abstract
Thirteen Oecetis species of the south-west Pacific area from Sulawesi, to Northern Australia and the Solomon Islands are placed in a new reticulata species-group on the basis of the distinctive shield-like tergite 8 in the males. Twelve new species are described in this paper: Oecetis accola sp. n., arawana sp. n., barbarae sp. n., catenulata sp. n., epekeina sp. n., kakaduensis sp. n., keraia sp. n., kolobota sp. n., oresbiosa sp. n parmata sp. n., piptona sp. n. and xaniona sp. n.; and a thirteenth species, reticulata Kimmins, is figured for comparison.
Highlights
The cosmopolitan genus Oecetis McLachlan is represented in the south-west Pacific area by numerous species of which at least some, fall into more or less clearly recognisable groups
Oecetis reticulata Kimmins, 1957 was the first species to be described from south-west Pacific area posessing the characteristic shield-like tergite 8 in the male
The original figure of O. reticulata is reproduced for comparison (Fig. 32)
