Austromerope is a genus of forcepfly which contains only two known species, Austromerope poultoni from Western Australia,[1][2] and the South American Austromerope brasiliensis.[3] They are small scorpionflies, with large forceps-like structures at the tail and two pairs of wings. Only adults and eggs from captured adults are known - no larval stage has been seen. Much of the biology of these insects is not known, due to their secretiveness and rarity.
