Abstract: Klug [J.C.F.] has been rediscovered in the mid-north of South Australia. The species was thought to be locally extinct from South Australia since 1948 when it was last seen flying by F.M. Angel and N.B. Tindale near Two Wells, 20 km north of Adelaide. We compared adult males and females from the mid-north population with S. selene from the type locality, and also to the parthenogenetic populations in western Victoria. We also compare the mtDNA (COI) gene for S. selene from South Australia to the parthenogenetic populations in Victoria and several other Synemon species.
