Australnirvana gen. n., based on Nirvana adelaideae Evans, 1938, from Australia is described and illustrated. The male and female genitalia of A. adelaideae (Evans), n. comb. are described and illustrated for the first time. The new genus is similar to the central African genus Afronirvana Evans in structure and coloration but differs in the male in lacking a ventral pygofer appendage and having the subgenital plate broad and oblique distally and lacking ventral macrosetae.
描述并图示了基于1938年来自澳大利亚的阿德莱德涅磐蛾（Nirvana adelaideae Evans）建立的新属Australnirvana。首次描述并图示了阿德莱德涅磐蛾（Australnirvana adelaideae (Evans)，新组合）的雄性和雌性生殖器。新属在结构和颜色上与中非的Afronirvana Evans属相似，但雄性不同之处在于没有腹侧臀叶附器，亚生殖板宽且远端倾斜，并且没有腹侧大刚毛。
